[146] Basic lighting options for jewelery and small object photography

The kind of lights and lighting that I recommend for our drop shadow system are photofloods (type B). You can buy these bulbs at many photo stores but you should shop around: prices vary from 2 dollars to 10 dollars per bulb. They are a pretty standard item in photo stores that sell to professionals. Tell the camera store staff you will be using tungsten film.... (1996)

[147] Basic Photographic Equipment for Jewelery and other Small objects

We are assuming you have a 35 mm camera. You will need a �single lens reflex� (SLR) camera with a �through the lens� metering system (TTL). This type of camera allows you to see through the viewfinder what will be recorded on the film. It also allows you take reflected light meter readings from your object through the camera lens. My favorite is a.... (1996)

[148] Considerations in Image Creation in Photography

Now we're going to start talking about taking the picture - actually getting closer to taking the image. There's a couple of things that we need to think about.

It should be just right, no too big and.... (1996)

[156] Considerations in Photographing Various Media

Three - dimensional objects will be well served by the methods described before, such as overhead diffuse lighting, fill card and mirror use. For flat things (like prints) use copy set - ups which primarily consist of extremely even light on the object and the camera centered properly on the work. Shiny things will need tents. We did, however, ask a number of craftspeople and artists whether there were any special considerations they felt were associated with different media. The following is derived from their comments.... (1996)

[157] Depth of Field Notes

Depth of field refers to the amount of the object that is in focus (the depth that is in focus). When you look through the camera's viewfinder on a close - up shot you may notice that part of the object is in focus and part is not. You can change the focus using the lens so that the front, middle or back zone of the object is in focus. You will, however, not normally be able to see the entire object in focus at the same time throughout the viewfinder.... (1999)
