Here is my Guyana about to shed. I tried to take some good pictures but this is what cam out. My camera has the potential, I just need to take the time to learn. Any tips??

Have you tried turning off the overhead lamp?

[vendettaseve]

Id put a second lamp in the front as well so you have light coming from all visible angles.

Im no photographer tho.

[stephanbakir]

Tried making a light box aswel?

[Jay]

No, I need like a 1 0n 1 Lesson with someone haha

[Jay]

I know there is better than average photographers on this site so please feel free to shout out some tips.

are you using manual focus or auto focus?

[Jay]

Auto... I think I'm hopeless and I Have the need to buy expensive things that I cant properly use lol

[TeaNinja]

my camera isn't super amazing but it has auto or manual. if you have manual on yours too you could try that. also if you're using auto, snap literally like 100 pictures. i bet out of the 100 you'll have like 25 good ones or something. i usually use auto and snap ABUNCH and just go through and delete the sucky out of focus ones pretty quickly.

I'm begining to think its out dated as well maybe I need a newer one.. Its a Cannon Power Shot s5is

[TeaNinja]

it doesn't look too bad to me. mine is pretty outdated but i get some good pictures out of it.

[Jay]

Mine is only 8 megapixel
