Ah, here we go. More Guinevere-pics, though not of Exeter Catherdral... ...somewhere on here there is a discussion/photo review going on on how to best photograph shiny object, now where is it again? Someone else tried their hands at baubles, too... hmph. What I do remember is that the use of on-camera flash is not quite so advisable since they blow out so much (become extremely white, shiny spots in the photo) and therefore distract from the overall picture. Will go find it for you...
