[QUOTE="Pat Hogen, post: 418756, member: 11720"] I learnt a little trick when I first started trying to do gemstone close-ups. I got a neoprene stubby holder, cut a hole in the centre of the end of it which was just wide enough for my grabber and took a pic down the tube and it comes out something like this: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/11720/1529462560_dscn1663_2.jpg[/img] This one has a little handshake because I was free holding the camera, but the trick is also to use a small tripod that are cheap from all over the place. In this pic I did not have my original tube so I have infilled with a bit of bubble wrap to hold my grabbers in place, so that is what is in the background, otherwise with just a stubby holder the background will be pure black. Try and keep your head a little away from the blocking the light and a standing lamp can be used on dull days. A little mucking around and you will work it out. [/QUOTE]
