Hi Kathy,

    Some advice for your photography. First if you are using film you
    should  use the slowest film that you can. I use 50 ASA/ISO, this
    will give you the  sharpest photos with high definitions. I like
    Fuji film as its colours are good. Then you need a flashgun, held
    away from the camera and aimed at the Cloud Dome, 45 degrees from the
    line of the camera is fine, this will illuminate the inside with
    white light and give good accurate colours. I assume you are using a
    tripod to mount the camera, and have the camera set at its smallest
    apperture f16 is fine. 

    If you have a look at my photos on the orchid gallery, 

    http://www.ganoksin.com/orchid/jmdesign.htm 

    I took most of them using Fuji film, a flash gun and a Mamiya RB67
    SLR  camera, some were taken with a Nikon SLR and all were taken
    using a film camera. Also find a good film processor and when you get
    you films processed give the  processor a sample of your background
    colour paper so that they know the correct colours to work to when
    setting their machines. 

    As you might guess I am a photography nut as well as a  goldsmith. 

Good luck James
