Throwing light at it

I'm no Jocke, I barely know my way round my camera...i tried a light tent thing but could never get the damn thing back in it's bag so i finally decided to try out a light box hoping it might make enough difference to get me more motivated. It only arrived this morning but after 15/20 attempts it's certainly made a little difference already

I'm definitely no photographer, but those look pretty darn good to me.

Nice pics. It looks like there's a flaw in your bezel pearl.

made by a guy called Otto, it's called an L-Box Pro. Doesn't look much but it's portable & far easier to use than the fold up tents they're available on ebay which also gives his website
