This is getting repetitious!
I also use a Nikon, a big fat one, and natural daylight, in front of a
south facing window. No flash, a slightly hazy day is best. And as
little photo editing as possible.
I want my pictures to be "true", not improved. It would be too easy to
make a Tatahouine look greener than it really is.

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

Hi all!
So, I have a cheapy 12mp Nikon CoolPix camera and can take some
decent macro
pictures of small objects. I use a homemade poor
man's light box, made from a cardboard box and crumpled aluminum foil
and a
light. This combo works well for me with the exception of
some wide angle issues because of the limitations of the camera.
My Son, Dusty, has thousands upon thousands of dollars of Nikon high
end
camera gear and can take shots that make my low end stuff look
really bad! Instead of a light box, which he is not use to and does
not
like, he uses a tripod and a huge light ring that his camera shoots
thru
with radio controlled flash.
So, I am curious and would like to know what you folks are using for
your
pictures??? I sure see some fantastic pictures.
Jim
