  • What is the best way to get ......

    good detail in digi photos without sacrificing the size of the image (not having to zoom)? I have been trying all morning to get decent pics of my guitars, but I am having no luck whatsoever. Maybe its the camera itself? I don't know...it wasn't cheap, but it wasn't top of the line either...I am trying to photograph the entire guitar, but the details come out *fuzzy*...like you can't read the Jackson on the pickups...the charvel on the headstock is blurry...I am kinda at my wits end trying to do this.

    You're not holding the cam steady or still enough.

    If you don't have very calm/steady hands, try using a camerastand (tripod) or something similar or something of the same effect.
    You took too much, man. Too much. Too much.

          Well, that camera is definitely capable of some stellar pictures.

            I guess I am just gonna have to try and find the correct setting?...Lord knows I've tried all of them, but I am not happy with the results...I get the entire guitar in the frame, but then lose all of the details [img]/images/graemlins/help.gif[/img].

              Bill, take a look at your focus mode and see if it's set on center focus. If it is, change it to Flexizone.

                  Also, zoom out and don't worry about the outsides of the shot...crop it in Photoshop, or whatever you have.
                  Any camera is going to give some distortion at the edges, but the Cannon's are the best in class at not having this problem.

                      Make sure you have enuff light !!! If you don't you get slow shutter speeds and blurry pics if not using a tripod.

                        Use natural light whenever possible....
                        Popular is not the same as good
                        Rare is not the same as valuable
                        Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get
