[QUOTE="Syndyne, post: 316054, member: 378"] Nice one 20x! Always good to see a bit of colour kicking around. You never know whats coming up ahead! That sounds like opal fever setting in. Just be careful as the cure, like gold fever, gets harder and harder to find :D Haha! It's no easy feat to get a good photographic representation of a mine. For lighting the photos back in the day, I used to use our general work lights -in the form of two 150w incandescent bulbs to get good lighting. One positioned either side of the camera and a third one in hand if required to show something at the face. This setup did a semi-decent job over all (depending on the scene you're conveying). I definitely agree that the camera's flash is a terribly harsh light and tends to wash things out a bit too much. I'm sure you'll find a good solution there somewhere. It's all trial and error in those darker conditions at the best of times. The shots so far have been very good though. All the best over there. Looking forward to seeing the pics if you find the cure for the fever! :Y: Take it easy, Shauno. [/QUOTE]
