- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Howdy All,
I am new to photography. I like playing with my cellphone and tablet camera all the time, but other than that I know very little.
I write historical articles on antiques, mainly antique firearms. My articles include tasteful closeup photos that are able to show small details (engraving, case-coloring, and sometimes internal mechanisms). Prior to now, I have had to hire a photographer to do it for me, which cost me a lot considering the little I get paid. My photographer is moving away and will not be available. I am now considering investing in a camera to do it myself. I was wondering if there are digital cameras ($100-$300) that would be able to capture small close detail, sometimes at only 6-9 inches away? Are there any cameras in that price range that would be able to attach an additional lens for close detail? What kind of lens would I need for that? Any suggestions help.
It appears I have some homework to do.
