[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 449094, member: 2976"] With a lot of swearing and cursing :D It ain't easy! Gems are one thing that just does not seem to want to be photographed. Dihusky knows a lot about the subject of photography/videoing. I find that bright light diffused by a white, translucent plastic box is often the best. Many things can be successfully photographed sitting on a mirror - other stones just seem to thumb their noses at you no matter what. Lots of patience seems necessary. Thankfully we have digital cameras now, where I can delete the huge numbers of photos I take before I eventually come up with one that I'm satisfied with, or at least forced to accept that I probably won;t get a better one.
