<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 8118582, member: 76221&quot;]Schyphates are tough to photograph for sure. One technique I learned at the ANA</p><p>Summer Seminar photography class I would like to share with all, and I have attached a photo of the process.&nbsp; Basically one needs a photo stand to attach a camera to. I used my Canon 70D with a 60mm macro lens and got good results.</p><p>Secondly: One needs a bowl shaped plastic dome with a hole at the top to focus</p><p>through. Thirdly, three lamps to give all of the angles equal lighting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s the good news. The bad news is that you need to find someone to make one for you. At one time there was a small fabricator that made them who has gone out of business. So...find a handyman that can cut a commercial lighting dome to fit your needs. My guy cut it to a diameter of 13 3/4 inches with a top</p><p>hole for shooting through of 3.5 inches.</p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on the lens you use one needs to adjust the heath accordingly to get a good image. Attached is the image I obtained. I&#039;m sure you folks are creative enough to do some digging. </p><p><br /></p><p>I highly recommend the ANA Summer Seminar which is a 4 day event. You will learn so much. We had attendee&#039;s with expensive equipment as well as phone cameras. It was amazing to see the progress made in that short time by all of the attendees no matter what level of experience. This is my hobby I do it for fun, and knowledge we can pass on to others.&nbsp; Merry Christmas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
