- Photos OK to edit
So, I'm really taking to my new hobby and can't seem to find enough things I want to try or enough objects I want to take pictures of. Needless to say, I'm a bit excited about it still - and that's a good thing. I know I have much to learn, but, the best thing I can think of is to actually shoot some photos and see how they turn out.
Today I thought it a good idea to try to capture a drop of water. Turns out, my idea of what settings I would need were WAY off and I think I basically reached the edge of my capabilities with my camera/lighting - not sure about that, but, lighting anyway. I didn't have enough light even with the quantarray flash on top of the camera so I went out to the garage and got my two big contractor halogens and placed them on either side of the semi-transparent red glass container and took a bunch of shots.
Shot in RAW, Shutter 1/4000 (max on my D60), ISO HI (3200), shot from less than a foot away, 55 mm, f/5.6. Here is the shot after editing:
Any suggestions, tips, etc...very much welcomed. I'm definitely a newbie, but, eager to learn.
Thank you,
