Taking Pictures Of Your Plants (A little How-To)

An update from my current grow...This was shot using an Olympus DSLR in RAW format.

Hmmmm It'd be nice to see some classy pictures of ur ladies...

Hey man, I've been growing a couple of times thru now, but I always run into problems and I don't yet have a camera to actually show people my ladies. I'm sorta lookin to buy one, but I really don't have much money. I was hopin to spend under 100 dollars. The ONLY purpose for the camera will be to take pics of the girls. Is there anything you could suggest or any certain specs that you would suggest I look for in a camera. (I have no idea what I'm looking for other than I know what megapixels are lol.)

My biggest suggestion is craigslist...check in your area for people gettin rid of their old digital cameras. I always prefer Canon with at least 4 mega pixels, but it's up to you. The biggest things are white balance adjustments and good quality. You can find some good cameras for 100-150 in most stores these days...the best thing to do is try them out. Make sure it focus' well and a macro setting is always a plus for those close up shots...

Awesome thread! Thank you... this should really help my grow! Your pics/ grow look awesome! Much Rep!!!

Hey WeedIsForMe,

Thanks for the heads up on the WB with HPS lights.

Hi there. Fantastic thread btw. Found out a few things i didnt know.
And seen some of the nicest pics ive ever seen

Just wondering if anyone has anyone experienced this, when using my camera phone to take pics. Sometimes i get lines goin up & down my screen, like interference or sumthin. Like this...



Before i got my kit, i seen this quite alot in ppls journals & always wondered what it was.

Im guessing its heat from the lights that cause it ??
And i doubt actual cameras have this prob. But my phone camera is pretty ok. 8 m/p.

Thanks to anyone who can clear this up.
Its not a big deal, i just move my phone back n fourth, up n down and it goes away mostly, but im just a bit curious and quite annoyed actually as to why it does it lol

Cheers
