Hope I don't bore you all with all these shots of pearls....and I do really appreciate your comments...and critiques...inspire me always to become more self critical but positive always to keep me encouraged! Thank you!
@robz by the way, a little belatedly, but on this shot with the light coming from below, I used a box covered with aluminum/tin foil as a reflector to get the glow on top....just thought I'd let you know.
@granagringa Thanks for the hint - that's such a good idea - and easy to do. And the effect really is nice. I can see why people have their own little studio at home - there is so much stuff you can use to get interesting effects. Thanks again! Cheers
