I have been looking around trying to find a good way to take pictures of some of my jewelry. I have a digital camera, but just taking snapshots is not good enough any more. I picked up a $3.99 set of plastic bowls, cut a circle in the bottom of one of them set my camera up in macro mode, stuck the lens through the hole and this is what I got. What do you think?

Anthony: This is pretty cool. I like the shadowy background. Tell me about the pice you photographed. It looks like gold, but I'm guessing it's silver and cuttlebone cast. What's the stone set in the center bottom of the piece?
The piece is a silver cuttlebone casting, the stone is a piece of abalone shell. Now that I can take pictures I need to figure out how to color correct the images. It seems pretty easy but I just can't get it just right yet. I hope to post some more pictures soon.
nice job, A. Although it does have a golden cast, it's still a good shot and actually, I think my home computer has a better resolution (or something) because I can see the photo a bit more clearly. I like the abalone set int he cuttlebone cast. Nice touch. Let me know what you figure out about adjusting color tones.
