jewelery photography with canon eos 300D digital?
I have a canon eos 300d digital with 35 80 mm lens 1:4 5.6 lens , one white box , 2 2700 K 220 V and 2 6400 K 220 V bulbs
Most of the jewelery that i will shoot are small glass beads or silver rings .
What are the best settings for my cam to take such jewelery with these equipments ?
And do you know any website that can guide me to learn about basics of jewelery photography ?
The camera is capable, not sure about that lens. What matters most with the lens and jewelry is close focus and sharpness. You want the maximum amount of frame filled with the piece, and I don't think you will get very close with that lens.
Are your light specs referring to color trempurature, or something else? A 2700k lamp would be down in the sodium vapor orange light range, while a 6400k lamp would be blue-tinted white. Mixing the two would be awful. You could succesfully use one or the other... lamp power is not as important, since you should be shooting off a tripod or stand, so shutter speed is not an issue.
You need to get into your manual and read how to set a custom white balance. Do that first! If you don't have a light meter, you can use the camera's meter to get an idea of your settings. You normally want as much depth of field as you can get without fuzziness showing up, try starting at f/11 or so. See what the camera thinks... as an example 1/2 second at f/11. Now put the camera on manual and apply those settings, focus and put the lens on manual so it won't try and re-focus every time you press the shutter. Take a few shots, check what they look like on the camera screen. It would be better to pull the memory card and check the shots on the computer screen instead, but you can't have everything.
Once you get this all set up, it becomes much easier and faster. With the camera on the stand, and a remote release!, you can shoot as fast as you can set new pieces in the lightbox. Check the shots when you change something drastic, like from silver jewelry to dark colored beads, just to make sure. You may have to tweek your exposure a small amount between them, but it shouldn't be by much.
Like anything else, once you get a "system" worked out, it is an easy thing to do.
