Hello....
I have a Cannon Ixus V3 which I am trying to use to take pictures of some beads and other jewelry items that I have made.
I have made a photo box similar to this: http://createapendant.com/photobox.htm
I have set the camera white balance to tungsten, shooting mode to manual, macro mode, no flash.
I don't have a great light at the moment, looking to get something better. But the one I have is a 100 watt bulb with some vellum paper on it.
The problem is that I seem to be getting a lot of glare on the beads and glass. Can I do anything about that? I really don't know what I am doing here.....
You can see a picture at: http://www.silverwynd.net/images/Beads-sample%2001.jpg
If anyone has suggestions of books or anything else I could read to learn how to do what I am trying to do, that would be great.
Thanks for any help!
