Marya.

    I think sometimes the easiest way is the best. Since I am a jeweler
    and not a photographer. Back in the days when I was still using
    film, setting up a place to take pictures was a use of real estate I
    couldn't afford. So I took very few pictures. Now I use a Olympus
    digital camera that has a great close up lens. I take my pictures
    outside. Natural light is better suited for my needs then setting up
    lights. On cloudy days I can just shoot as is. On sunny days I need
    a filter, as the sunlight will make pieces too shiny, and there are
    bounces of blue from the sky or green from the garden. I found an
    lamp on the curb that had a 12 inch frosted plastic shade. I removed
    the shade, (think like half a ball). The hole in the top is perfect
    for the camera to fit, and the digital screen shows me what is
    there. It's quick and easy, I can go to my computer to download my
    pictures and see if they work for me, and if not I go back out and
    find a better location. You can go to my website www.agte.com and
    look at the half moon earrings or the when water meets the sky
    earrings to see how well this dome idea works.
