Hi I strongly recommend against using flash in photographing lace. Even if you don't get a whiteout, the flash obliterates all the shadows between the threads and therefore destroys any structure. Lacemakers want to see all the threads and how the object was made. The best way is to set up 2 lights, left and right, about 2 feet away from the lace. Then back one of the lights off a foot or two. The uneven lighting lets each thread have its own shadow, and this delineates the structure of the piece. I also advocate always removing the lace from its frame, so there is nothing between your camera lens and the lace. Even clean glass can distort the image. Lorelei
