<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 85419, member: 1892"]I have a Minolta Z2 which was purchased more for its' big zoom (for use at Nascar races) than its' macro capability. However, it's not too bad at that, either:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://members.arstechnica.com/x/superdave/PICT0084a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://members.arstechnica.com/x/superdave/PICT0082a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have a small, very well-lit bathroom, filled with compact fluorescents, which serves as my studio. The camera's on a small tripod, directly above the coin which is on a black t-shirt. All I adjust at the camera is white balance; everything else happens in Photoshop if there are specks to remove or something. Still don't quite have the light angle I want on the eagle's chest, though. I'll get there.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
