If sending a photo of your treasured item e.g. for inclusion in the gallery, then please photograph using a light tent to avoid reflections. This may be made easily at home and many DIY designs are available on the Net. This is one that I have used successfully.
Ideally, the camera should be set at 0.3 Megapixels (640 x480) for web display or the image edited to around this size. If this is not possible then please contact me. Also, where possible tungsten light should be avoided since this produces a yellow cast to the pictures.
