    Camera? Empty Camera?

    Post by Luckysfrags Mon Apr 29, 2013 1:11 am

    Hey guys I've been looking to buy a camera to take photos of my corals in my tank. I don't need crazy top of the line equipment but then again I don't want some pos. I'm a novice with cameras but I can and will take the time to learn so a camera with a learning curve is ok. I'm mainly looking for a decent camera and a decent macro lense that will be able to take nice photos.
    I was wondering if any of you have any info or advice in a camera to look at? Again I have no clue what to get.

    Great link! Also just as a heads up, I won't be using a program to touch up any photos I take. I want them to be as true as possible. I've had many many people post a photo of a coral online and when I go to see it in person it just isn't the same coral.

    Depending on your phone, it can take good pictures. My old phone used to take awesome macro photos(if I could get it to focus....lol)

    I have an iPhone. It's not bad but I want a nice macro shot camera. I hear a lot of buzz about the 60D and the Ti3 and Ti4.

    Is it an iPhone 5? If so, google 'iPhone Macro Lens', some of them work quite well.

    Like this one:

    I was just messing with my canon T3i and taking pics. You have to adj the ISo, white balance , shutter speed ect. Depending on your lights. Before tweaking the settings and leaving it in auto the pictures would come out blue or really dark.
