I don't know a whole lot about cameras, I would like some opinions. What is a good one for taking close ups of your spiders? I love taking pictures, but all I have is my crappy iPhone camera.
Cellphones are that - phones. A cam on one is just "supplemental" and shouldn't be expected to work like a DSLR or P&S.Wasn't sure where to put this. I asked a similar question in someone's picture thread, but I felt I should ask everyone just for the heck of it. What kind of cameras do you guys use to photograph your Ts? Seems like all the pics I take are of terrible quality. I can't even photograph slings, because they just show up as a dark little blur. Thanks!
It's less about the camera and more about the lens and lighting. For extreme close ups, a true macro lens is needed, but for just close up shots, any lens with a small minimum focus distance should do fine. Obviously, the better quality lenses will be able to make sharper pictures with better colors, but that really depends more on the photographer knowing what he/she is doing. Light is also important for a number of reasons, including amount of time needed to properly expose the image. The darker your room, the longer exposure is necessary, the more likely it is you will end up with a blurry picture due to camera shake, and even a relatively brightly lit room is deceptively dark compared to being outside in full sun.Wasn't sure where to put this.
