I'm about to be involved in a breeding project that needs good photos taken. So I'm actually building an area just for photos my nug of the month should be a great shot.

Sounds like fun to me...good luck

Kit wise a 60mm macro (or micro in Nikon speak) lens would, I expect, be one of the most desirable lenses for bud and nug shots at any price and I doubt they are more than a few hundred bucks, maybe even a couple of hundred. A proper macro lens will go 3x closer than your 18-55mm and should deliver top quality results. Worth a thought?

Tonight I used a polarising filter to cut down light reflection on the leaves and improve colour saturation...

ISO 100, f/16, 1.3 seconds......I used a tripod too!

All of my pics come from a galaxy note 3 cell.... it would take a lot of money in a camera to out do the cell these days.... looking good so far

 

[Dutty Panty]

If you post an example I'll certainly try to transfer relevant experience over.

A little light reading to start with....the Exposure Triangle

There are only 2 modes on the mode dial that I use....manual (usually marked as M) and aperture priority (usually marked as Av). I suggest you use Av and we'll take it from there.

You are very welcome my friend. Here's a link to another popular site full of excellent photographic tutorials and stuff....Cambridge in Colour - Photography Tutorials & Learning Community

Doubt you'll find anything geared specifically on shooting Cannabis though lol. Hopefully when I grow some nice plants and get experience of shooting them I'll be able to do one here....I'm just getting to know the subject matter.

Already there bud

There's been some progress here....

....the Rockets have been moved to the launch pad and cleared for take off

Need to cover the bottom bit up then hopefully just feed 'em until they are done. 600 on 24/7 until I get the VK in too and then I'll reprogram it for 18/6 but first I'll need to harvest the whatever it is I've been growing.

 

[Dutty Panty]

[Dutty Panty]
