I use a Sony Mavica and find that by turning on the macro I can get to within inches
and have a superb photo, thanx to someone of Iris Photo mentioning that last year.
I design silver and beaded jewelry and when I need to photograph a final piece,
that macro is a life saver. Wonder how many years I would have struggled had it not
been for one of you? It would certainly be beneath me to actually read the
instructions, even if I am a woman!
As to lighting, I find that a slightly hazy day, or at least not the heat of the day
brings for the best colors. With a digital one can tweak the colors as has been
shown by some very very red iris seen over the past year, but I do my best to have
reproduction as true to form as I can. I always have the filter on the lens.
Hasn't been of in a couple of years save for cleaning. That helps too.
