<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1156126, member: 30400&quot;]Well, I usually say that the actual gear is not that important. D-SLR&#039;s are so good today I don&#039;t think you can choose badly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am one of few using a Sony (a300). I like it because I don&#039;t have to use the viewfinder to see the image. There&#039;s an LCD screen. But I do love the idea of seeing everything on a computer and making adjustments from a big picture before shooting it. If I ever start over that will be a requirement.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a pic of my set up. It&#039;s not on the floor anymore and I use a longer macro lens but otherwise it is correct. A steady, strong copy stand, remote shutter release, more than enough lighting, and an A/C connection instead of charging and swapping batteries.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]119771.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, and most importantly, is software. I know Photoshop pretty well and it is everything anyone might need. But a few years ago I moved to a Mac which, as everyone knows, is the preferred platform for anything arty or creative. Apple has a wonderful application, Aperture, which does everything I need. Except circle-crop! How could they forget that feature? So there&#039;s an extra step to get something like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]119772.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p>Lance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
