Thank you for sharing. I would like to add another factor in zoom photography. Camera position. If you are off to the side you can really get strong lines of light. If you want to have an exploding effect with light beams generating from the subject uniformely then shoot straight on. I also like to stop my zoom or delay to the zoom effect to get a stronger image from which to zoom. Keep up the good work, Bill Darren,

I have been taking pictures of jewelry for quite some time now. I'm Using the Canon Rebel (8.0 MP) digital camera. I am also using a light box (made out of shiny white cloth) (To see the light box i am using please click on this link http://www.tabletopstudio.com/documents/jewelry_photography.htm ). I have the LB surrounded by Fluorescent lights on both the right and left side, and one light angling from above. I final images i am getting are pretty good, but now I am trying to make them look even better. By late August i will be working on a new assignment, which is Photography of Diamond Watch. Now i have tried every thing, but for some reason I’m not able to get a perfect finish I’m looking for. The type of finishing I am looking for is some thing like the pictures on rolex.com the official website. The sharpness and smoothness on there images are amazing, and that is the look I am trying to achieve. What my question to you is, to achieve this type of finishing, what necessary steps do i need to take. Do i need a better camera, Lens, Lighting or can this be achieved by Photoshop. I don’t mind spending money as long as i can achieve my objective. Please let me know what skills do I lack and where is improvement needed. If you want i can e-mail a picture taken by me so you can compare the two ( Rolex or Gucci Web Images ) and see the difference. Thank you very much for your time and effort. You can contact me @ maumin_haris@hotmail.com Have a pleasant day. Looking forward to your response. Yours, Haris Hi.
