Theres a fair chance most peeps carry a camera with them out on their sessions, any advice on type etc. Ideally to suit different budgets. And especially what to store them in.
Most of them will do it. You just need to select 'Macro' mode (it's the icon with the little flower).Bassorama said:Can anyone recommend a good point and shoot digital camera that takes good shots of lures up close?
Less than £100 if poss.
Thanks.

Really? I have an old Olympus 6mp cam and on all 3 macros choices it's rank with close ups. It must be me.Lewisman said:Most of them will do it.

I took the photo below with my current Pentax Optio S5i in Macro Mode. It's a 5MP camera which has long since been superceded. Some of the other camera's in that range are available on Amazon for around £70 with 7 - 10MP . . . .

Pretty easy . . . i just sat the plug on the top of my (closed) laptop . . which is black - that looked good. I then used Photoshop to select the background and blacken it further.Bassorama said:How did you get the black background lewisman?
Ah ok, thanks. I've always wanted Photoshop but its like £300 odd quid isn't it and I'd probably end up throwing my laptop out the window because I wouldn't be able to get the hang of it. Bit like that awful Excel program. And clingfilm. Clingfilm is the work of the devil as far as I'm concerned.Lewisman said:Pretty easy . . . i just sat the plug on the top of my (closed) laptop . . which is black.

Nah . . . that's the Pro version for Arty-types & people with pony-tails. This version is all you need . . . .Bassorama said:Ah ok, thanks.

Only kidding Si - that's a fine "Welsh" physique you have and I am working in mine as we speak. Be good to see if you can get some underwater shots of some bass this season - adds another dimension doesn't it?
