Re: [meteorite-list] question on using a macro flash ring for photgraphing meteorites
Hi Glenn, others, You may try working with full spectrum daylight lamps. They emit a spectrum very similar to natural sunlight. By using two, or even better three lamps, you will be able to avoid hard cast shadows. In combination with dimmers you may simulate every daylight situation experienced outdoors.Anything starting from 20W will serve your purpose. The color spectrum your camera reproduces will be very close to what the human eye perceives under daylight conditions. I've been achieving acceptable results with a set of four daylight lamps and wouldn't want to miss them: http://www.meteorite-recon.com/en/Meteoritensammlung.htm Cheers Svend www.meteorite-recon.com Glenn Skinner hat am 13.

[meteorite-list] question on using a macro flash ring for photgraphing meteorites
Hi I've been photographing my collection using an 8 megapixel olympus camera with really good success. the only drawback is I have to do it outdoors late moring facing the east to get the right lighting. I haven't been able to reproduce the same quality using artificial lighting. I've tried using microscopes with CCD, but the camera has a much better image. I've been looking at the macro flash rings and have wondered if anyone has tried them or is using them?
