<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3855530, member: 82549&quot;]I took the photo below a couple of weeks ago with a Nikon Coolpix 4500 4.0 mega pixel camera in its macro mode. I shot it outdoors on a sunny day. It was raised up from the background, which was an old piece of black construction paper that ends up looking pearly gray in bright sunlight.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1021028[/ATTACH] </p><p>If I wanted to improve the quality of my photos, what do you think would be the best and/or most cost effective way to begin? Should I get a better camera? If so, what kind? Do I need an SLR? (I should mention that I don&#039;t own a smartphone, so using a phone camera isn&#039;t an option.) Would it be better to buy some lights and shoot indoors? If so, what kind light(s) should I get? Is one enough? Do I need a reflector? Is there something else I haven&#039;t thought of?</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure that there are many things that I can do to improve my photos. What the best first step? Thanks for your suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
