Hi Les, I am using Lightroom to edit but even before editing they look slightly grey so I wondered if there was some setting or other I could use on my camera to adjust to make the background as little grey/bluish looking as possible?! Anyone?

Thanks but black background isn't what I'm looking for

How would I sort this?

Hi everyone, I hope this explanation makes sense! I take a lot of close-up shots of jewellery on a white background. Mostly I like to use natural light on a sunny day (in the UK this is a challenge!) but I am also using a lightbox with LEDs (not a budget one, a fairly decent one) However, I'm...

Amazing, thank you :) I'm not sold on the continuous lighting anymore! (The one you recommended looks like the same one my friend has that I linked earlier above!) I do have an old DSLR all I'd need would be a lens, and obviously the flash, so thanks for the recommendation on the flash. I'm...

Thanks - this is really useful to know. I do have an old DSLR, just needs a simple repair. Interesting. I'll give it a go. What sort of flash would I need to buy? If I did want to give it a go with a continuous light, are there any options you'd recommend? I do like the idea of trying it out...

Hi Mike, I do like the north light in the mornings here but it's obviously not as sunny! So then Ineed to edit some brightness into the photos, but it's worth rethinking. Thanks

Thanks Garry for taking the time to explain! I really do want to stick to natural light though.

Thank you! Is there a link for this? I am new here and a bit bumbly :)

Hi everyone, I've been reading some articles and it appears to me that the perceived wisdom is that when dealing in product photography (with natural light only) one should choose a south-facing window - early morning being bluer light, before dusk a more golden light. But the idea is to...
