Product Photography

A few links to help with product photography. I've battled with photographing my jewellery and its not been made easy with the weather in the UK either :-(... anyhoo it's an ongoing battle.

Was so excited to have ordered 'daylight' bulbs from amazon, to use with my ebenk digital studio kit which I got for Xmas. But when they arrived , the lights were dull yellow lights...was expecting white lights..the battle continues I guess.

Right, here are the links:
