Kevin,

    In respect of photographing opal the same thing happens to me. The
    camera (digital Fuji finepix) does not see what the eye does. 

    I believe this is probably due to the fact that the camera processes
    the digital information from the sensor (by means of a more or less
    accurate, mathematical, averaging-out algorithm) before it commits
    it to memory Wayne Emery could comment on this much more
    authoritatively than I. (Wayne? Yoo-hoo...you on deck somewhere?) 

    If my supposition is correct this would imply that 35 mm analogue
    slides might give a more accurate rendition. Anyone feel like doing
    some comparative experiments? 

Cheers,
