I bought D80 to improve the quality of photos of my exotic stones, however I have a problem as all pictures in Automatic photos are more ORANGE or RED color therefore the final result is not good.
Does Anybody here works with photos of Stones?
Anybody here could help me with with a special configuration to take Real Colors from the stones?

I really need help on this matter.

Thank you so much in Advanced!!

If there is an orange or red cast, I expect you are photographing the stones under incandescent light. Instead of using automatic, you have some choices. Try setting the white balance to Incandescent, and use the fine tuning to get your colour perfect. You can also set the camera using the Kevin scale for a high degree of accuracy. Finally, you could use the preset method, taking a reading off something neutral, like a gray card or even a white piece of paper. All are easy to do and are described in your manual.

If you feel you must use automatic, take the stones outside into full sunlight.

There is a reason why white balance does not work well indoors with incandescent light. In the early years of digital cameras, one of the companies did make a camera that worked perfectly under regular light bulbs. Shortly after it went on the market, they started getting cameras returned, and angry letters. The reason was simple - it could not tell the difference between light from a household light bulb and a sunset. Everyone who tried to take a picture of a sunset, found that the colour had been neutralized and it looked like just another cloudy day!

Close to you, the warmth I

Around you, to hold fast to you! I was obsessed with how, in your embrace. No one in a night, one more than the street, you put my mind to try the fragrance on your body quietly into my nostrils, into my Heart, but you also know nothing about when I have lost! Your lips are so soft, so I can not help but greedy, your body is so small Sophie ah, I did not dare to relax you, I am afraid, afraid of opening up after you will be blown away, so I forced in with you that I treasure! I have been intoxicated, had been secretly sucking your beauty, this is how I envy ah, let me also become part of your body now, as I always have you, will never be lonely! In this small world, you are my all, embrace you and I will have the entire world. "Cold?" Your words are so gentle, Do not you know, you are my sun, with you, I will be cold?
