The Dime Test --
Can you read "E PLURIBUS UNUM" on your photograph of a dime?
If so, you and your camera pass. You can take
sufficiently high-quality close-up photographs.
-
Practice --
Now try a moth near a light at night!
Or a mushroom, which won't move.
And, again. And, again. The secret is a steady hand or
fast shutter speed when taking close-ups.
When you or your subject are moving,
use a flash and set your camera's shutter
speed to as fast as possible.
If possible, try it at 1/500th second.
-
Suggested cameras --
If your camera doesn't work well, try using a
- Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7/B or DSC-H50/B
- Canon Powershot A590 IS or A580
- Fujifilm FinePix S700
