In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on October 29, 2009 at 9:03: I hear ya, but when you are a roaming reporter like I am :), gotta catch the action when it's happening and a pocket camera is ideal- the iphone is sweet in that respect. Obviously, I'm not talking about "professional" shots, only real time pics to load on the internet- which aren't hi-res or high quality anyway.

In Memoriam Comment by Scott King on October 29, 2009 at 7:23: I want a good digital camera I can take around with me that is Wi-Fi enabled or 3G network compatible. My iPhone can't zoom and is not that great, but don't want to spend $7000.

I want to snap a shot, then be able to email, text, or load it at iKC (or facebook)

Any help here?

I have a office that's a closed in porch... Some days I have good white light, other's no so... I have found that these $1 to$2 magnetic mechnis flexble lights great for accents. It's a whit light not yellow light a light bulb. Just buy a handfull and find a piece of metal of paper wieght that is magnetic and you can shoot at night. Check out the photos I posted tonight. There was not any sunlight then.

I also like to find a fabric that matches the scale style... tonight I wanted to try a new abalone... so I used a black pillow case I picked up art Walmat... I like leather behind Stags so on and soforth.

I have a Cannon Eos 8.5 MP but use a 4 G memory card so I a shoot till the battery dies.......

FYI

Best tip I can supply is to photograph OUTDOORS. I like to take my pics in the mid - late afternoon, with indirect light and the MACRO (close focus) setting on the camera.

Comment by Bruce Piehl on October 27, 2009 at 18:43: Help, Help.... I need all the help in the world, my pictures are horrible. I can never get my lighting right. Yet some peoples pics, look so inviting. It's the biggest wast of my time right now. I have a studio box with lights. At this point, it's usless.
