    Hello Eric, I tried to send an email to your contact website. I am a start up jewelry designer and would like to know if you or somebody would come to my home to help me set my camera settings. I want to take clean photos for the internet only. I am having a lot of trouble and need somebody to help as soon as possible. Of course I will pay. I have a Nikon D80 and lights, light box, etc. I would really appreciate it.

    Thank You, Loretta
