Darn! Lost another post!
Anyway, you're very welcome.
If, when you read those Articles and the threads under them, if you add a post to each thread, asking the people already watching those threads if THEY would ask or answer questions in a dedicated garden photography forum, and give a link back to this thread, maybe we will get enough groundswell of interst right here to justify its own forum.
My tip #1: Goodwill usually has used camera tripods for $3-$20. ANY tripod is lots better than none. I used a little duct tape on one and now it's great.
My Tip #2: Try some of the other "pre-set settings" in your camera besides Normal, Outdoor and Macro. You never know!
My Tip #3: Most photo software has some "auto-correct" feature. If you open a photo with that software and click the button, it may improve that photo. If you know as little about photography and cameras as I do, it USUALLY improves it. But if the color becomes less accurate, that might be bad.
Does anyone know a way to defeat the blurring caused by wind and flowers nodding and swaying? I usually try the "anti-hand-shaking" setting, but that doesn't always help enough. Just wait for a less windy day?
