Members Steadfastly Posted January 23, 2008 Members Share Posted January 23, 2008 I Agree, to a point. With a compact camera, it doesn't much matter because they have so much depth of field anyway. I also wouldn't go for the biggest, because eventually, you lose sharpness overall due to diffraction effects (I have a pinhole lens that is around f/185, which has infinite DOF, but it is more that it is equally unsharp throughout). It's worth experimenting to see what works for the look you are going for. That's a good point about the flash. You could use indirect flash, but that's very difficult unless you've got the specific equipment to do it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only have a cheap point and shoot or only have a fixed flash on your slr, you can use some aluminum foil, some cardboard, and some tape to jerry-rig a reflector. Use that to bounce your flash off the ceiling for more even and less harsh lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
