Calling all BOM and Hall of fame growers

What camera equipment are you using or recommend for those really sharp HD pics?

Just an old no name brand Android cellphone here pal. It’s all about the angle baby I try to get mine to focus on a bud and get the rest in the background to go blurry oh my close-up shots. I’ve noticed that at some angles if I zoom in then back the camera away a little bit it seems to take a better picture

I got a relatively new IPhone 15, which is not the Pro model, but it takes decent pics but not on par with some of the pics I see here. I pictured you with a high-falooting 35mm with a big ole lens.

@T-ray , LoL thanks the only kind of real camera I’ve ever owned is an old windup kind the disposable ones. I’m pretty sure you tried this already but I’m going to spitball through some what ifs.
Have you tried turning the grow lights down a tidbit when you take the pic?
What about the flash on your camera you use it or not or have you tried turning the phone flashlight on while you take a pic? Also being super steady help us with mine. Sometimes I’ll grab my walking stick and steady my phone with it to get rid of some of the fuzzy effect in the pic.

I like where your head is at @DoneDeal! All great tips that I haven’t thought about.

For what it is worth @T-ray, I do use a very nice SLR 35mm camera and my shots are not any better than those taken with cell phones. That does depend upon the skill of the particular person taking the photo.

The camera is just a tool. It does take a bit of skill and knowledge to use it to best effectiveness. As @DoneDeal alludes to, practice wth different angles and lighting, you will find your groove.

Thanks @merlin44 .

That’s what I said too until @brownsfan100 said different and the rest as you know it’s history…
I believe you got the growing skills as soon as you get this picture stuff down pat you’ll have a place on the podium no problem

That chocolope (i believe thats the snow covered beauty for your first w) was something else!

I think this is the camera that is used
