Hello,
I need some suggestions on how I could best take a picture of some fine
crystal pieces (5 total) that my Mom has. They are all only 1 to 2.5 inches
tall. She has them all sitting on top of a mirror, but there is no light
source near them. I have a few lights, Christmas lights, a flash light and
an interior design light that takes a 60 watt bulb.
I'd like to some how incorporate the color blue in the picture too. Perhaps
from the Christmas lights.
I've got a Canon A85 4.0 megapixel digital camera with a macro mode. But
I'm just not sure how to best setup the picture. Some how I'd like the get
a picture of the light reflecting off the crystal. And perhaps getting a
starburst effect. That I know how to do, just set my camera to Aperture
Piority mode and close the aperture, adjust exposure and ISO until I get
exactly the effect I'm looking for..
Any suggestions on how to best setup this picture?
Thanks,
Jeff
