I had a heck of a time with the lighting as I discovered that my Norman studio umbrella light won't fire from a digital camera, so I played with bounce flash. I really had difficulty trying to do closeups of watches with all kinds of reflections. I suppose a light tent or other diffused lighting, plus a nice macro lense, would help. This type of staged photography is new to me and I would appreciate any advice. http://homepage.mac.com/robertmcclure/PhotoAlbum112.html Rob McClure Actually you could make it better in Photoshop with the shadows and highlights control.
