The previous message I sent from my school account, and I don't think it went out. At least it hasn't appeared in the two digests since. I have a friend who wants me to take some photo of glass beads. She makes them and sells them. They are small (little finger nail size on average) and very shiny. All the photos she has taken have real hot spots on them. I have been thinking of how to light them to try to eliminate or at least greatly reduce the hot spots. I thought of using a white umbrella over them and lighting them through the umbrella with flash or natural lighting. I have heard that using polarizers on the light source and the lens also might be a way, but I think this is only for flat objects. She hasn't given me any yet, so I thought I'd see if anyone has experience in lighting small shiny objects. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
