Photographing your plants

[jimbojones5678]

Can anyone offer some tips or hints about photographing your plants - my camera is crap but I'm sure there is something I can do to get better pics until I can afford another, better one.

when my camera was working properly and would zoom in for me, i would line up the shot i wanted to take, zoom right in to make sure it was in focus as much as possible, zoom back out and then take the picture.

 

since my camera has been playing up, i usually take 3-4 pictures of what ever i want to capture and as im taking them, i gradually move away from the plant in the hope that one of the pics will turn out semi decent

[loylty gets u nothing]

maybe invest ina tripod?

it will steady shots etc

other than that keep the camera flat and still

a tripod is the way to go if you can afford one, but if like me you cant afford one the next best thing you can do is make sure the camera is sitting still with the plant in focus and put the camera on a timed shot. that way you can back off from the camera to prevent any shaking and if you are game you can even get a chance to get in the picture with your plants

OK cool...but I get a weird yellow glow when I take pics during lights on and they look shit when I take pics at lights off with a flash. I'll do some experimenting but when does everyone usually take their pics?

[sunnycoaststoner]

Try holding or placing something in between the plant/bud you wanna shoot and the light, should stop the yellow glow.

It's a camera phone - but a good 3mp Nokia - still it lacks for what I want it for.

Yeah I'll try positioning something between the light and the plants.
