What is the best lighting and exposure to capture the wonder of toe-nail fungus ?

Natural light is always best. And if you can manage it, early morning with the foot in a snow-drift.





If you can't time that right, use daylight-balanced compact fluorescent lights and white seamless paper as a backdrop. Uncooked bacon draped around the foot adds a nice contrast.What is the best lighting and exposure to capture the wonder of toe-nail fungus ?
Personally, I think it looks best by candlelight, but there are ways to mimic the effect. Paint the toes a nice orange-yellow. Come to think of it, there might me fungal treatments that have that color.What is the best lighting and exposure to capture the wonder of toe-nail fungus ?
The on-board flash should do. Now, i suggest f/11 at 1/200 of a sec, manual mode. Toe-Nail fungus pictures must be taken differently than other pictures.
Well first, dip the lens in boiling water to sterilize it. Pour some more water into your camera body, especially on the camera sensor. It'll improve performance and keep things clean.
i use halogen lights, they warm the feet and encourage the fungus to appear as well as being bright and annoying.
Ring(worm) lighting, of course!
