What camera settings / lighting used to take a picture of a diamond ring and preserve the brightness of her?

I have a Cybershot Sont T100. I tried a lot of adjustments, but it is blurry or just a flash light cloud.

The best way to take photos of jewelry for a website is with a digital SLR and a macro lens. If you are not going to go with a DSLR, almost any point and shoot with a macro mode will serve you well. The thing is, I believe it is necessary using flash to force the opening to close while having enough light for an exhibition. Many here will tell you different, but follow this advice and see what you think. Use your macro setting and experiment. Say you have a point and shoot camera with macro and flash of the camera. You may have to go to a manual mode To do this, but … Put your item in a nice background surface. I like to just put in a ring box or some velvet. Reduce at least halfway to you will be working on a foot off the track. Make sure that you get focus confirmation. Firing a flash Using image. Check the LCD for the result. If you have overexposed the item, use the EV adjustment to reduce exposure. For small objects, I often find that I need to reduce exposure about 1.0 EV. (That's -1.0 EV). It is better to have the subject properly exposed and the background underexposed, so just worry about the jewelry, for now. Using an underexposure deliberate cure the look "too bright" of stones and metals. If you know how you can use either full manual exposure or just Aperture Priority and choose a smaller aperture (larger number) to make the ring show in a better approach. If you have a digital SLR camera, please your question once, indicating the type of camera you have and the lens you are using and give you more details. If you are doing any image processing at all, like Photoshop or cousins, you can crop the image to 800 pixels by 800 pixels and using Supersize images on eBay. I always use the images package when I'm selling anything of value. http://www.members.aol.com/swf08302/heartring.jpg out a while ago I made with a Nikon Coolpix 5400 exactly as described above. I do not think this is acceptable, but we decided not to sell the ring anyhow, so do not bother to do a better job. It is still better than some I've seen. No I keep the old photos of sold items around, so I do not have much to show, but at least you know it is possible to obtain an acceptable result even without need to spend huge dollars on your computer. Key points to remember are:-Macro setting Zoom out to get a foot out of your flash object Use Try different settings EV and hope that you will end up with a negative EV setting, such as -1.0 EV. I happen to have some photos from old auctions on an FTP site. I think these were taken with a 3 MP Nikon Coolpix 885.

Here are a couple of pictures of coins done exactly as described, but using a D200: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/1887954874/ I do not these with my Nikon Coolpix 4600, just to show what a really cheap camera can do. It's a 4 MP camera that I paid about $ 150 for a couple of years ago. Http: / / www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/577501964/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/577501976/ Here are a couple of photos from the auction done as describes, with a 60 mm macro lens on a DSLR: 800 x 800 http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/2540152660/ (Yorkie) 800 x 800 http://www.flickr.com/ photos/samfeinstein/1296244675 / (light box) 800 x 800 http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/1296276707/ (light box) 800 x 800 http://www.flickr.com/photos/7189769 @ N04/412244168 / (box light) 800 x 800 http://www.flickr.com/photos/7189769 @ N04/412244164 / This is a coin shot with a DSLR and a telephoto lens, which allows using the flash without washing all that was: http://www.flickr.com/photos/samfeinstein/1190290008/ If you are interested in a complete description of an SLR set-up, ask again and specifically ask for this information. I find the nature of your question that you could be on the point and shoot market.
