help required

My girlfriend requires a B+W picture of a woman with good in focus nails preferable nail art, it is for a college project whereby she is trying to produce a leaflet as a project for her nail technology college course, this will by no means be used for promotion or retail.

Any help would be most grateful
Cheers

A macro lens, tripod, controlled lighting, and a background that won't distract from the subject (Nails). You might want to do a google search for nail products and look for images showing fingernails and who they are posed.

Have you tried searching photobucket?

Try using a P&S camera for this. They give much large depth of field - which you might call "good focus". dSLRs give good results but the package you'd need to use is much more expensive. Use a P&S and try macro mode and without and get a cheap little table top tripod that can be bought at Best Buy or any camera place.

Why don't you have her nails done, then take a few shots of them?

yes I would do it myself but it needs to be in by tuesday and manicures are bloody hard to get at short notice where we live (thats why she is doing the course ha)

No probs will do some searches on the net, just thought someone may have already done something similar.
