[QUOTE="tvdrss, post: 278736, member: 22781"] Hi, I am not a photographer by any means, we do have a web business selling circuit boards and take anywhere from 50-200 photos every day, 5 days a week. We have come a long way in improving our photos, but I still want better photos with more details, clearer, etc. We cannot afford a $5000 digital camera so we are stuck with the D5100 that we have. We have it in a light booth, mounted on a tripod and tethered to light room 5. My question is, does anyone see anything we could be doing better? Right now we use a 18 to 55 lens that came with the camera. I have been told we might want a macro lens? But then which one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
