Hi All,

One of my biggest frustrations is trying to get good images of my work. I'm great at photographing nature. But taking pics of my jewelry is something I really loathe. I have bought an inexpensive lightbox with an open front, but still my pieces just don't look so good on dig. Some of you have pics that are clear and up close and the colors look right.

For silver, what background color do you use? For copper? What watt lighting do you use? My 2 lamps are 20 W each and I'm thinking they aren't strong enough. The camera I use couldn't be better, so it isn't that.
I would really appreciate you all sharing your oh so valuable experience in this area!!! :)
Thanks in advance,
Laura
