| Also I would suggest not holding the pearl in your hand as any movement will blur detail in the picture, just place it on a piece of white paper.
You can also try the Kevin Canning method of photography, which works on a 100:1 scale - simply put if you take 100 pictures, 1 of them is bound to turn out good.
On a side note, I'm curious how common are conch pearls are in Belize? I know conch is a staple of the Belizean diet, so there must be a few pearls pulled out each year - if so are they usually sold or are they kept by the locals? |
