[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 458420, member: 10304"] Top stuff mate, those shots are great and focus is pin sharp plus Dof is perfect, falls away at the top of the stone which makes it stand out. Before you go chasing light tents, have a play with a simple setup like I did in the series earlier, it's simple and quick and costs nothing if you have the lamp. You can also make a light tent with a couple of wire coat hangers, baking paper and sticky tape. This might do the job with the camera flash but I prefer a lamp as you can see how the image is developing, flash you can't so final image becomes a bit of an unknown until you snap the pic. [/QUOTE]
