It's FunPub. It's their specialty.

Anyhoo, I recommend a light tent, a light source other than an on-board flash and a steady hand. If you are serious, then a SLR with a macro lens.

Banjo-Tron wrote:Blame the Aussie, I guess. Regarding batteries, just buy pretty much any camera on the market today that costs more than about 60 dollars and you will have high capacity rechargeable battery packs. AA batteries do not cut it, particularly if you are using the onboard flash.

For those looking to shoot in a light box, the first and most important tip is:
Set your ISO to 100 and adjust from there.
You are essentially playing a near zero-sum game with ISO, f-Stop, and exposure time.
Exposure time is self explanatory. It is how long the lens stays open. ISO is your light sensitivity. f-Stop is your focal length (which is probably the hardest thing to learn how to manage).

Or if you do use a DSLR camera you could state as much right off the hop and wait for any input from other members. If in fact that is what you would want to do.

All cameras whether they are phones, compacts or SLRs use the same principles of ISO settings, plus aperture and shutter, you just may not be able to adjust them yourself. Lighting is still the most important thing because the more light, the better equipped the camera will be to create a focused, non-blurry image. You can stop spots of light and harsh shadows by diffusing or reflecting the light source.
