<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 1050582, member: 17557&quot;]I was under the assumption that along with the lens and the macro setting the camera has would be enough. What can I expect to pay for a compatible macro lens for this camera?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been studying lighting techniques, a lot.</p><p>Over a year ago I was using the flash, then one light, then one light and a halogen light, and now I am at two halogen lights along with the same light as before. I shoot it underneath a white surface, and I do use a &quot;hover&quot; method, although a copy stand/tripod would be nice, although not necessarily a necessity, I can get the job done, but it would take longer with my &quot;hovering&quot; method.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You see, I would, but financially I&#039;m just not willing to do that. I could get some nice practice with a $500 camera, but you have to see that I do want a higher end camera that is in my budget range, because I do want my photos to get to the next level. I take damn good photos, but they are just that, good. I&#039;d rather struggle with an expensive camera, and experiment more with lighting and photo editing techniques, then buy cheaper, and then buy more expensive. In this sense, I&#039;d want to skip that step.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples of some of my better photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>(Not any particular order, some I own, some I used to own.)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/190925PCGSMS62GoodPics.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/2000-PSac.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/196620Cents.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/19212Francs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/1917-S50Centavos.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Once again those are examples of my better photos, and while I do not have the original shots, I can assure you they didn&#039;t look like this.</p><p>My point and shoot camera is terrible with colors and details, which is expected, I don&#039;t expect it to make my photos any better than they already are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
