Re: Advice on buying a lens for my camera

Treehawk

When you say buy a new lens, I presume you are talking about an extra attachment that you attach to the front of your existing lens? This may magnify things, but extra glass between the subject and the sensor will only degrade image quality, the only question is by how much it will degrade it.

I quite agree that getting closer would help things. But there are a couple of other points. Your image is under exposed. Does your camera show histograms? If so, read up about how to use them to assess exposure.

Can your camera caputure in RAW format? RAW will allow for better correction of minor exposure errors, on computer.

And lastly, I have taken the liberty of fiddling with your image a little in Photoshop, but I won't post the results until/unless you give me your permission.

Firslty I corrected the under exposure and lack of tonal range with levels.

And then I used the plug-in Noise Ninja to help with the noise that is noticeable in the background.
