my camera is what i would call a little old lady takes pictures of flowers camera,that is to say its an amateur level macro lens,its a nice lens but not a pro level one...
the real trick,and this will make no sense to most people,but when you get this bit it gets easier to take a good pic,is this....you arent taking a picture of the object,but rather the light that is reflected from or refracted by that object...
most peoples bud shots suck because of a) hand shake, b) bad lighting,grow lights are great for growing under but shitty for taking a good pic,c) bad shooting angle...most pics are taken in the standard from above camera angled downward shooting stance,a good way to get a boring,low contrast shot...watch a pro sometime,they are always hunched over or laying on the ground,at some odd angle to the subject..d) bad white balance...on most digital cameras you need to "show" the camera something white to give it a reference point to make the adjustments..
