Use a black background, a tripod and a exposure compensation between - 1.5 & -2, or use a beautiful model to wear nothing but the jewels :shock: :P

ha ha ha I like the sound of that.. what should I use for lighting and what setting on the camera should I set it on?

Thanks

Best setting should be the Av and use an aperture between 4 and 5.6 and avoid using flash. Use the natural light falling through a window on a cloudy day to avoid shadows.
