I have a 5 pound bag full to choose from. :thumb:
I wish I had a decent camera though.
Sometimes like you say it's presentation.
A great pic isn't always about size.
Might look through the bag and see if I can get a decent pic.;)
Thanks Buddy :thanks:

I hope it's okay to make a suggestion on the photos for contests....
Back up a bit with the camera or cellphone to get sharper detail and reduce the glare backs a bit.
So many beautiful buds out there and the photos are blurry or blown out with white. If you get a nice clear shot, you can always crop in the cell phone camera app to remove any distracting areas. Try to take a straight on shot that gives the entire bud in focus. Shots from above will give detail from front to back on the bud.
Try to stay away from bright lighting that blows out the whites. Cell phone camera flash is notorious for that on close ups.
Edit: also...if you have shaky hands, try to stabilize the phone or camera with something, or stabilize your elbows on a pillow or something. Books work too. ;-)

Okay, you can kick me now. :dreamy::laugh:

Went through the bags and dug out a couple buds.
Dried and cured.
Still not thrilled with this camera.
Or a background.
Might dig out the photo box.
Do it right

Hay Bill,

Do you have any CFL 5000k bulbs ? Sometimes they are just called daylight..

Or a south facing window ? Nice soft light And white foamboard for reflectors ?

You have the buds, you just need to concentrate on the lighting now ;)

Rule of thumb, sun (or light) behind you or to the side and a reflector on the other side.

Or from above, or at the back at a 45 degree angle and a reflector in the front facing the light.

And something to hold the camera steady 😆

Cheers, eh ?

I have a photo box.
I just need to find it.
But putting the camera on a stand is a better idea.
Thanks @Chuckeye :thanks:
Apreciate the tips.:high-five:

Practice makes perfect...they say. ;-)
Nicest part of practicing is you get to play with buds. :laughtwo:
BTW, I am far from an expert. If I were an expert, I'd be living someplace warm and lovely instead of cold and dreary. 🤣

Use the camera timer setting also , so you don’t accidentally move or shake it

iPhone 15 tap the arrow at top of camera screen to find the clock timer button down below

Does the photo box come with lights ?

Even an inexpensive work light reflector helps to focus the light...

And if it is too harsh you can hang a piece of fabric over the front but Only with CFL bulbs, incandescent might be too hot 🔥

If you are not experienced with photo editing stick to bulbs in the 5000-5500k range. That should give you a "true" color...

Cheers

I have one very similar.
I'll get some pics of the box and light tomorrow.
I had to water all Stacey's plants and roll her some joints.
Not enough time today.
Thanks Buddy. :passitleft:

I have Stacey's old I phone.
I found this in settings.
13 pro I think.
Does that mean it’s never been backed up?
