Hi Jim, Good topic :-)
I use a Nikon DSLR and macro lens mostly or a Fujifilm bridge camera. For me though it's not about the camera but the lighting. Although i like shooting in daylight i tend to use artificial lighting to be able to easily reproduce my results. I use a pop up light tent which is basically a white fabric cube with one face of the cube open to shoot through. I then use a fibre optic light with intensity control as a single source light. Prior to this i used a single lightbulb with similar results :-) Works well for me :-) Cheers Martin On 11 March 2014 13:45, Jim Wooddell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all! > > So, I have a cheapy 12mp Nikon CoolPix camera and can take some decent macro > pictures of small objects.
