Can't decide which one of these pics looks better to show the bracelet detail:

Without flash:

With flash:

Thoughts? Suggestions?

frostie · 16 July 2008, 02:39 AM

Personally i think that the first pic shows more detail

On the second pic the flash distracts me somehow and i can't see the detail that much

toph · 16 July 2008, 02:41 AM

both good but i think the first one just edges it

GMTII Owner · 16 July 2008, 03:28 AM

Both are good pictures but I like the 2nd one.

time · 16 July 2008, 03:47 AM

The 1. one. I NEVER use flash;)

JJ Irani · 16 July 2008, 03:49 AM

The simplest way for good results would be.....NO FLASH, MACRO mode, natural light.....and PRESTO!!

#1 is better. Use JJ's information for more detailed and clearer shots. Nothing beats natural daylight if you don't have professional flash or lightbox capabilities.

kcmo · 16 July 2008, 07:07 AM

I prefer without flash.....

toph · 16 July 2008, 07:12 AM

6 people say picture 1 in comments yet only 3 voted for it against 4 for the pic with the flash

HKperf · 16 July 2008, 02:51 PM

w/o flash...

Yume-sama · 16 July 2008, 03:01 PM

I agree with JJ. Natural lighting and macro lens or mode on your camera will provide the best most "life like" result without using a flash at all.

Spanky · 16 July 2008, 08:29 PM

Definitely without flash. Maybe try it again with upping the EV (Exposure Value) a touch. This would require a longer shutter speed but allow more light to enter resulting in a brighter picture.

explodingtaco · 16 July 2008, 11:17 PM

Also the White balance seems to be off in the first one. Although it is definitely the better picture.
