I'd use the flash, but if it's too strong, put some cloudy plastic in front of it to lessent the amount of flash hitting the bud.
The trick is to take TONS of pics of the same thing with different settings/distances, take notes as to what you did for each one, then look at the results and repeat what worked best.

Well GD, you need a new camera I always ust the flash as my camera will adjust the exposure automatily. You need to find and use the micro function. Last learn the minumum focal distance your camera can use, and keep tha distance from your subject. Use the digital zoom setting on your camera to zoom in from your mimuim distance. Most if my pics are taken under hosehold floro's.

Has anybody mentioned it earlier Growdoc?
Apart from all the good advice...one other thing:
get yourself a tripod fast, you'll be amazed at what you can achieve without the need to change cameras to new fancy ones. You can fine-tune your settings and pic composition, adjust the lightning take your time, look at your subject.
It's photorgrapher's best friend, believe me.

BTW: your camera is not neccesarily in Japanese, they all have a language choose somewhere. Just get yourself an English manual on the internet, it's easy!

These are the lights i use they let me shoot without flash they are
60watt soft light bubls and they only were 8$ each they clip onto any thing and dont burn the plant .
Once you have your lightting right then just take a bunch of pics with different settings to see what all they will do ( or thats what I have done

I have found that I get a nice color balance on the plants by using a mix of warm and cool fluoros. Most cameras are color-balanced for daylight. The light from warm flouros is kind of gold-orange and light from cool fluoros is blue-green; combined they make pretty good light balance for photography.
Try moving the lights around for different shadow/highlight effects. Another cool look is to put warm fluoros on one side & cool on the other side.
Playing around & recording the settings for the really good photos is a great learning tool (not to mention fun). Record the lighting as well as the camera settings.
And have fun!

take tons of pics and try backlighting with your flash on. I find the more light from different angles the better. also i can put my cam on a floro light setting and it works real good. I probably took 50 pics to get these

I use a blue sheet as a back drop and no back lighting for mine and the lighting is low so it makes it black.Growdoc said:
