[QUOTE="Mr Magoo, post: 455722, member: 3008"] Great idea to start this topic Wally69. :Y: My gem pictures have improved since using a reasonable camera. Still a leaps to learn. Dihusky's comment about white balance inspired me to have a play last night instead of relying on auto. Gave me an opportunity to learn more about my camera. You may already know this but one has to be careful about minimizing the distance between the stone and the camera/lens as you may end up with too much reflection of the lens/camera showing in the stone which will show up as dark areas. Although it can be used to good affect also, by adding contrast in the stone between the black of the lens reflection and the colour of the stone. [/QUOTE]
