Eventually it looked best on the necks of my nieces --- then the lighting became less of an issue!!! Not sure about using a 75mm -- you will need lots of DOF in most shots. Fuzzy jewellery does not work except in very 'defined' shots Cheers --- hoppyman@bigpond.net.au wrote: From: "Geoff Hopkinson" <hoppyman@bigpond.net.au> To: "'Leica Users Group'" <lug@leica-users.org>, <leica@freelists.org>, <MUGers@yahoogroups.com> Cc: Subject: [Leica] IMG: M8 does some closer stuff Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 13:14:12 +1000 Folks, I just had my first try with some jewellery shots, learning to use a light tent. This is just bright daylight diffused by the white fabric. M8 and the superb 75 Summicron ASPH. Stopped right down in this instance. Three variations starting with this one. <http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/102971727> http://tinyurl.com/5toz5g Opinions and suggestions are very welcome.
