mgillette Valued Member United States 374 Posts	Posted 07/10/2014 9:19 pm Equipment: Camera - Nikon D3200 Lens - Nikon Nikkor 85mm f/3.5 DX VR Micro Settings: Aperture - f40 (way higher than necessary) Exposure - 1/1.6 ISO - 100 Lighting: Cheap light tent with black backdrop Ambient fluorescent lights + Single 60W Day Light CFL w/ reflector Battery died, so I didn't get to play with lower aperture and shorter exposure time.
