So i just started trying to take serious photos, and start using better techniques. I did distance shots, and outdoor lighting at the zoo last weekend and posted pics, and now i tried out the macro setting for a first. Now this isnt a Macro LENS, but just a selection on the camera in manual mode.
So i tried to find some suitable indoor lighting to enhance the goldish colour on this buddha statue i have, and started messing with the macro setting. Here are the results. Any tips on getting better macro results, or lighting ideas as well?
Thanks
