Nikon D5100 macro photography
Posted: Sat Nov 21, 2020 12:26 pm
I have my Nikon D510 on a Manfrotto arm clamped to the cabinet counter top. I'm using a light booth with 2 strips of LED lights front and back.
I have the stock Nikon DX 18-55mm lens on the body. I have other lenses but those tend to be for landscape shots.
I need to do close up photos of small 3D printed products that I manufacture for item descriptions on my website.
I'm looking for the best setting for this. So if anyone has similar experience I'd appreciate your feed back.
Fine detail in sharp focus and good color. Problem with color though is I use a grey resin for the 3D prints.
Current settings on this shot are:
Shutter- 1/80, Aperture - f/8, Comp - -.033, ISO - 160, WB - Auto, Format - JPEG Fine, L(4928-3264), Saving to computer only.
I'd attach a photo but it requires a URL and the photo is not on the web.
Thanks,
Walt
