Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A sample of photos I took recently for an assignment for a Jeweler in Cairns. First time ever used the D70 after owning it only one and a half weeks. Quick got to know it session shooting some home jewelry bought in Egypt and then it was on to the real deal. It was such a pleasure to shoot then immediately view to gauge quality and lighting effect. Appreciate any comments.

I really like the Opal shots, especially this one:

Thanks for sharing these - could you let us know some more specifics about your setup? What lighting did you use, perhaps even a sketch? Would really like to understand this side of photography better :)

Thanks again.

Jewelry shoot setup

Postby marcotrov on Mon Apr 18, 2005 1:09 am

I did a lot of reading first as it was my first product shoot and first attempt at jewelry. I constructed a light tent from wooden dowling some white plastic corner joins(size-about 2 foot cube) bought from Bunnings and transluscent white cellotaped scrim paper around the lot. Used 3 Nikon wireless flash units (SB26,SB80DX and SB600)with an sc-17 cord connected SB 600 as main flash and 2 small morris mini slave units on either side of the lens to front light the products. Incidentally the larger of the 2 opal rings was $16500. The Black Pearl necklace was worth $22500!
Think of how much gear you could buy with that!
cheers

Those are nicely done, IMO. They look like they belong in a catalog. :D
