<p>From article: <a href="/storque/how-to/staying-sharp-achieving-clarity-and-crispness-in-your-photos-1173/">Staying Sharp: Achieving Clarity and Crispness in Your Photos</a> </p> <p>A lot of peoples number 1 problem on etsy is not using enough light, so i am glad you addressed this first. Often i see people throwing all kinds of tips and ideas out there, when the photo would be 100x better if they just used more light. Lets not forget after all, &quot;photo&quot; means light.</p>

<p>From article: <a href="/storque/how-to/staying-sharp-achieving-clarity-and-crispness-in-your-photos-1173/">Staying Sharp: Achieving Clarity and Crispness in Your Photos</a> </p> <p>Thanks everyone and thanks to the Storque folks for publishing it! I am really just an amateur though compared to the many amazing and talented photographers here on Etsy. I agree with Abitabite about light - a good source really does solve most problems. Sunny days can be few and far between where I live so I use a combined total of 500 watts to shoot indoors. Eclipse, you can do lots with even just a basic camera - mine is only 3.2 mgp. I&#39;ll be upgrading soon though!</p>

Thanks for mentioning the flower icon. All this time, I didn&#39;t even know if my camera could do macro or not. Going through the manual = hard.

<p>From article: <a href="/storque/how-to/staying-sharp-achieving-clarity-and-crispness-in-your-photos-1173/">Staying Sharp: Achieving Clarity and Crispness in Your Photos</a> </p> <p>Good article. I agree that Depth of Field can make pictures look a lot better but, you have to make sure you don&#39;t go overboard. I have seen some pictures on here where the DOF is so shallow that it is no better than having a blurry picture. Also, having a picture of the item (if its jewelry) on a person really helps the viewer get a better idea of the piece.</p>
