...by the way, I love the lighting on your photos. I have zero skills with a camera, but lately someone told me about aperture priority and it has made a big difference (i.e. from terrible to just about okay!).

I thank you. It's always the two of them: Aperture and shutter speed. If you use a tripod, the shutter speed becomes less important and the aperture can be set small. This results in a greater depth of field. But one thing is the most important of all, it is the light. You can never have enough light when you photograph small objects. That is why I work with a flash. With digital photography everything has become so easy - just the trial and error method until you're satisfied.
