Pictures

Recommended Posts

...and if you don't have a macro setting, back off of your subject a couple feet and use your zoom. Also, get a tripod if you don't have one; a really cheap one will get you by, and use your timer to take the picture, rather than pushing the button manually to eliminate any movement. Refer to your camera manual for these simple functions and other tips!

Dampeoples and Dean are spot on. But if you want to work indoors, don't use the flash, it just washes all the light colours out and gives hard shadows.

Try using a table light (two lamps would be better). The colours can be fixed using photoshop or similar software. Use Deans timer, most photo's fail because of camera shake. In this low light, the camera slows down the shutter speed. A cable release is best, but that involves spending money.

There was an article not too long ago that covered this subject quite extensively if you want to get a bit deeper, try a few word searches like;flash, lightbox, filter, timer, filter, background. These should get you the information.
