Hey everyone,
Ok so I just bought the Canon T3i with 18-55mm lens.
Im going to be helping my father take pictures of some rugs indoors (fluorescent lights, and it's not that bright inside even with all the lights on). I'm new and have never owned a high-tech camera, what is some good advise / settings for taking pictures of rugs? Most are pretty big, and obviously color accuracy is HUGE concern as you don't want to misrepresent.
Flash / No Flash? Should I buy an external flash? Buy spotlights?
ISO? I've read to keep it around 100, but the photos are dark without flash.
Shutter speed? I have a tripod, I want to capture as much color and detail as possible.
What setting should I put the Dial? M? P? Full auto?
Also if I was to take the rugs outside would that be better? Any setting differences? (Some will be possible to do this some not)
All the help I can get to help my father out would be great!
