Thank you @PtreeCi .Nice report
Also I like the way your pics are taken...
I need to find a way too
I have a hard time to get crispy photos on my fullframe camera
I thought it is nikon, Iam using d750.. Imho you have nice lighting..Thank you @PtreeCi .
Actually I use my growtent to place the plants and take pictures. I remove all plants and hang a black cloth using clips. Then I place the plant to be photographed, dim the growlight and add another FL tube to illuminate from below. Camera is a nikon d850 that I borrow from a friend.
The pictures already look better than those in my NL5xAfghan thread because of the light from below. But I m still not fully satisfied, these buds are way frostier in reality than what they look like on the pics, and some got slight purple hues looking delicious.
Yesterday I watched a youtube video describing the basics of photography, all about ISO, aperture and shutter speed... I wished I had seen it before I took the pics. But there are still 3 to be harvested next weekend, then I ll give it another try
Damn, how could you knowI thought it is nikon,
I dont know if this can help, I am by no means an expert. Actually this was my second time using this camera. But what i learned from the video I watched is thatI just cant seem to work around the clarity of picture
Damn, how could you know
I dont know if this can help, I am by no means an expert. Actually this was my second time using this camera. But what i learned from the video I watched is that
1. you should keep the ISO as low as possible. Higher ISO equals more noise.
2. the aperture controls depth of field with a higher value increasing the depth of field
3. the shutter speed controls motion blur, with a higher shutter speed increasing the motion blur. So a slow shutter speed is good for still objects like plants and fast shutter speed is used for moving objects like pets or during sports events
OK, I see, you know more than me I do not even know what settings I used, I just tried until the pics looked somewhat nice. Good luck with your pictures looking forward to see themYep, that is just about right..
Iam keeping ISO on 100, time around 100, but I need to up F
Just cannot find the best angle to shoot whole bud..
Will have to find some work around
I am so lucky that I can borrow that camera. Otherwise I would have to use a very old digital camera with horroble quality. Thanks for the infos @musashi , I can organise a ring flash so I ll try it out and for the objective I will try to find out what was on thereI wish I had a full frame if not for better light capture. I know I can take better pics using backgrounds, just too lazy/busy to set it up. I just grab the camera and shoot most of the time. I believe primary lenses- macro lenses increase clarity. The AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED is the s*t. A ring flash and tripod are real helpful too.

Top of the line equipment. I am envious!OK, I got the info now. The D850 I am using is equipped with a AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80 mm 1:2,8-4E ED VR
I read about it, costs a fortune and seems to be an allround lens
Damn it must be frustrating for you guys to see this equipment in the hands of a total noob. Its like a first time ever grower plantin nevilles hazeTop of the line equipment. I am envious!

Thanks @musashiAloha @Marijuana Gangster and @PtreeCi! I don't know what you braddahs are using for editing software but since you are both using Nikons, the company does offer a free package called NX Studio. It is not Photoshop but will handle the basics in a smart way.
