Some jewelry made by my wife taken with the 5D MKIII

Another stack with the 1DX... much happier today.

Should I centered the bracelet not caring so much about the reflection and leaving more space for the text?... Now that I look, it seems a bit off.....

Very nice work!  Thanks for sharing your setup info.

Perhaps the shadow direction?

Amazing work my friend. Use live view focussed all the way in, it works really good for focus critical manually focussed items.. She should be very happy with them!

There is no shadow.  That is a reflection.

  tried to shot tethered but unfortunately Lightroom does not support the 5D MKIII yet,

What version of LR are you using? I thought 4.x supported it. I still use LR3 and it does not support the 5D3.

You could always shoot tethered into the Canon EOS Utility and if you shoot JPEG and RAW, it will pop the images up on the screen pretty fast as it will only transfer the JPEGs to the computer - I think this is a config setting.

Thanks, I used live focus, then turned off live view since for some reason if ON it does not trigger the flashes. But I believe this second time with the stacking I got much better results.. Also the correct tilt of the lens helped too.

Yup, reflection, but as the item is not perfectly straight, the reflection looks a bit crocked.. I might have to look into that and supplement with something so I get a reflection that is straight n

Latest version.. It supports images from the camera, but not controlling the camera. I have to test the Canon app. Actually if I do that then I can get LR to import automatically from the dropped files on a folder.

Yes, the text is too close to the subject, lower it and the presentation will be a bit nicer.
