[QUOTE="Kingsolomon, post: 266355, member: 578"] We'll .... I did ok with a smartphone , just put the stone on something white and use your faceting lamp over it . Not bad photos some pro facetors only use this ,yet , if you want better gear / photos , I find things get more difficult . After forking out a couple of grand you have to make it work :) time consuming , still phones can do ok . I'm still experermenting . A lot off stones I see are heavily lit and probably wouldn't look like that in person . I find that decieving and try and avoid it at all costs . Holding the stone in a grip will result in pot luck , support the camera and photo a still stone, not waving about in your hand . My two cents . [/QUOTE]
