We need a class on photography. @Padawan1972 skills are on point.

Agreed. I just don't have the right camera that is easy enough. My old iPad and IPhone just do any justice to anyone or anything. It's sad, I know

I know @912GreenSkell has a camera that isn't to high priced and takes some wonderful pics. I just can't remember the model. Maybe when he pops back in he can let you know.

One of the best camera lines out there for the "average joe" to produce great macro is the Olympus Tough T4 or T5 series. Yes, several hundred dollars...but for a Point and shoot for the casual shooter..It can and will do everything you need. Great all around camera, and just awesome at getting some great macro shots and waterproof, and can take a beating. Once you have a camera, let it be a point or shoot or a DSLR with a macro lens. You got to understand "light". Shooting in Auto mode will most likely leave you with drab average pictures. You need to learn how to shoot in Aperture priority or in Program mode to have total control of what you want the camera to do. Understanding exposure and how to adjust it on your camera will be your salvation to great pictures. To much exposure , your pictures will be over exposed and flat with no true detail, not enough exposure will leave you guessing what you are looking at.

Several of the old version canon powershots take good macro shots too, and can be bought on the cheap($100 new). They dont have the waterproof or shock resistance, but they do indeed take fantastic pics. I so wanted a tg5, but the price was too high for me, and the vid capabilities too low. I ended up with a Nikon. In some ways its much better than my old canon, but i think the canon is better at micro photography

@MedCzech - hey bud...i run an old version of a canon. Canon Sd-790IS. You can buy a new one on ebay for about a hundred bucks and it takes fantastic pics, especially macro shots.

Hey guys. So pretty keen travel photographer and do quite a lot of product photography. I actually have the Olympus tough camera and for underwater it is EXCELLENT!! I’ll upload some shots to show it off
Can’t say I used it above water level as I have a canon 6d mii. Use 100mm l series macro lense for a lot of the product photography and it’s also great for portraits.
When shooting macro be sure to use the lowest aperture possible, f1.4 for example. Will reduce the risk of camera shake as you’ll be able to have a higher shutter speed. Don’t be afraid to turn the iso up a bit, but camera dependant, this will have a grain effect the higher you go. Best bet is to use a tripod and get some extra light shining on your subject!
For even cheaper solutions there are some nifty little attachments you can get for camera phones. Not gonna be worthy of blowing up poster size! But a cheap alternative.
Can’t tell you how excited I am to take photos of BUD! Just another couple of months

Photo upload playing silly buggers with me. Will try with Tapatalk

Great tips!
I was seriously considering a tg-5 for my new camera, but the low resolution video turned me off the model. The macro mode on the nikon coolpix 9500 is only so-so, but it takes pretty fantastic video(still figuring out the sweet spots with the automatic focusing), and it only cost me $67.
