  I was trying to keep detail in the bone part.  All other settings seem to blow the bone out to a white blob.

  I understand the white balance is off, I had planned to fix that upon downloading.  But to use a F11 like it is recommended in many articles, the photo gets too blurry even on a tripod.  It seems like the shutter is open forever. 

  This was just a test shot, so please excuse the placement of the necklace, it isn't very well staged at all.

  What do the pictures look like and what problem do you think you're having. Personally I dislike small softboxes because the light is too small and directional.

  I need to know what you're using when you say photoflex lighting softboxes and what lighting you're using and then I can make suggestions on how I would use them. Can you e-mail me links to the things you're using and then give me a call.

  I have a photcube setup that includes the photoflex lighting softboxes with continuous lighting.  What tips do you have for using the continuous 500 or 1000 watt lights?  I am also using an older Olympus camera -  C 5050 -

  Thanks for your help!

  Thanks, Larry, I'm sure that the many jewelry artists on AFI will appreciate these tips, hope you're feeling better and healing quickly.
