Shows you have more talent than just photographing jewelry :-) Have you ever tried scanning your pieces on a flatbed scanner? This can be quite an effective and easy way to capture them as well to a clear background. If you, or any of your other readers are interested, there is a <a>free jewelry ebook</a> here that you can download which has info on photographing jewelry as well as plenty of other information useful to run a jewelry business from home. All the best Gary Hi Kristy

The tile is tilted only slightly. Maybe an inch or less. Plus, although it might not appear so, the slate is slightly textured, so the jewelry doesn't really go anywhere. I've tried more smooth tiles.. (you know the ones that are less matte but more shiny?) and I get jewelry avalanche too. I think the trick is that the tile is slightly textured and the tilt height is so low, that I don't experience any issues. :-) Vicki and Theresa..

The way I see it is if it works for you then more power to ya! I'm wondering the same thing Vicki is though....how the heck do you keep the jewelry from staying nicely in place??

I've tried this and I get the jewelry avalanche thing happening. I see that you tilt your slate surface… what keeps the jewelry from sliding?

The macro setting is key to getting it to focus that close. It looks like a little flower. And the auto settings like that are so useful and easy. Great tips and photos.
