Thanks for the help and advice guys and thanks for the links MidnightUk it's very kind of you.

Hello everyone! I'm photographing jewellery in a light box using a Nikon D50 and I'm having a problem achieving a white background when photographing certain items. I'm using an EV of between +1.7 and +2.00. When I'm capturing colourful objects this works great but when I'm doing plain silver...

Thank you for this Dan, just about to go and buy one. This is good to know!

Thank you both!

Its so complicated it makes my head hurt.

@ Stupar When you say try and get a respectable ISO and shutter speed, what do you mean? Do you think mine is unsuitable for what I am photographing? What should I be aiming for? Thank you.

Thanks Kendo!

Thank you Stupar and TLR, I didn't know that aperture and angle affected depth of field. I will try your suggestions. Thanks loads.
