I hand make Sterling Silver Jewelry and want to take photos for sales efforts. Not sure where to even start. My camera is a Nikon D3300 with two lenses; 55-200mm - 1:4 - 5.6G ED VR II and 18-55mm 1:3.5 - 5.6G VR II. So here are my questions:
1. Do I even have the correct lense(s) for taking close in pictures.
2. Should I get purpose made lighting, if so what?
3. I see usage of hoods, reflectors...what would be a good entry level approach.
Willing to spend some money but trying to keep cost somewhat down if possible.
When I use my Digital SLR I use it on auto as I am clueless about photography.
Any help would be very appreciated.
