Hai
I am an entrepreneur from India and my products are small electronics Printed Circuit boards. I need to took beautiful close up photographs of our products for web and print.
The below links are the types of images I like to capture.
Clipart of Circuit Board bxp37761 - Search Clip Art, Illustration Murals, Drawings and Vector EPS Graphics Images - bxp37761.jpg
Stock Image of circuit board rvb1155 - Search Stock Photos, Mural Pictures, Photographs, and Photo Clipart - rvb1155.jpg
Pcb Images and Stock Photos. 643 pcb photography and royalty free pictures available to download from over 100 stock photo companies.
Hope my intention is clear now.
I have purchased a Cannon 1000D with no additional lens. The provided lens 18-55 is said to be a general purpose one (!). Additional supporting equipements like a tripod, white umberella and a halogen video light etc was also purchased.
My dream of making PCB pictures like 'shutterstock' images was devastated in the first few days itself. However hard I tried with lights, daylight or exposure 'adjustments' ( I am shooting with a SLR for the first time in my life!!) I was never able to produce such pictures.
I would like to know few things from experienced users.
Is it, the lack of costly camera and lense is my problem? or
my lack of expertise?
If it is lack of expertise; I am willing to learn- because I love to make professional looking pictures.
If it is lack of costly lens or camera, I am afraid my options are limited. I may be able to afford a macro lens. Is it the option for this?
Please suggest what I can do in the present situation.
Thanks
Roy Thomas
