I've been trying to get some decent shots of fossils and stuff I collected in
the UK over the past couple of years. Somehow they just don't seem right to me.
Any suggestions please on a) lighting b) backgrounds c) point of focus - front, middle or ???

Would very much appreciate any ideas, hints or references. Douglas
