Barbara, lighting jewelry is one of the toughest things to do - the pros have upwards of 6 or more lights in their studios with all sorts of snoots and scrims to control the light just so... That said, without seeing an example of your shots, I can think of two possible issues: 1) the camera just isn't up to the task - you may need better gear. If the lens doesn't have high contrast transmitting glass, for example, the refractions and reflections off the gems could be beyond it's capability. Or, perhaps the lens simply can't focus as close as you need to get for small pieces. 2) your lighting may be (probably is) too overpowering. You may want to investigate some of these small-object light diffusers - a variety of companies offer them - they are essentailly translucent tents of plastic that create a very soft light when you place the light sources on the outside and the subject matter in the inside.

Again thanks to all for responses. I do have several photo software that I can make some adjustments. but I feel sometimes it makes it muddy. As for small tents, Dora will not fit in the tents unless I really get a big one. I do cover my lamps with screening. I will try to see if my AF is in the center. I think it is. www.gemworksltd.com you can see some mistakes. Does it pay to increase sharpness in camera before I take picture? thanks again b
