Best practice tiny objects
« on: May 31, 2019, 12:17:41 PM »
I have made some attempts at doing tiny objects but I am struggling to obtain proper overlap. I am using a Syrp mini turntable rig with synchronised shutter and a NIkon D610 60mm macro for shooting.

My example is a 1200-year old brooch, aprox 45x27x12 mm dimensions, and ~1mm wall thickness. I have to be extremely cautious handling it and cannot use any adhering materials such as putty directly on it to stay in optimal positions. I did several rounds at different angles, but issues with DOF and (I think) the wall thickness is preventing the different sets from aligning.

My question is; have you done any small object like this - and if so; what is your methodology?
