I'm slowly learning to use my canon powershot 510 (I think it is) and just learnt to change the light settings to work with the tungsten bulbs in the lights I have on my Maplins mini lightbox setup.
All help being got from a friend who is REALLY into cameras.
I'm also now the proud owner of a set of macro lenses and an adaptor to fit the lenses to the camera - now I just need to figure it all out so the jewellery is in focus, not the backing cloth with its oh so big looking weave.
I also now have a copy of photoshop that I'm going to learn to use too - for removing backgrounds I think.

Nikon coolpix S7c. Easy to use.
My method: big memory card and take millions of photos in every mode possible!! Then pick the one i like best. I really should learn to use it properly

I went on a photography and PhotoShop course at the beginning of the year, so I bought myself a Canon digital SLR. I'm not sure my photography is really much better than it was before but at least I know how to edit them now. I'm beginning to get to grips a bit with PhotoShop now. I finished the course a month ago and I still haven't heard whether I passed.
Ah now I may be a point and shoot girl when it comes to taking pics but I love editing (as you can probably tell from my little pic of me)! I use psp9
Yes I can see it too now!
My camera is a Fuji Finepix S100FS. It is a bridge camera which apparently is a cross between an autofocus and a DSLR. It has a fully automatic mode - which I use with macro mode, but also has manual functions as well. I did some photography in A level Art using 35mm B&W film, but I can't remember anything about fstop, ISO etc!! I need to do a course really.
Mine's my dad's Pentax Optio A20 (10 megapixels). Seriously considering getting a second-hand SLR which I've seen for sale on our intranet at work so I can still take piccies when he's on his jollies! It lives on Manual setting using either the Macro, Super Macro or Manual Focus settings. Manual Focus is a bit dubious for close up stuff as sometimes it decides to work and others not.
My tip is to play with the white balance all the time. Even if you think you've got the perfect picture just tweak it either way and taken more piccies. You can always delete them afterwards.
