Someday I will give it a go again and set up an indoor studio.
Well I have to say while I really want to achieve a certain quality of results I find the process not so fun. I am really not that in to photography but I want some real good photos to document bikes I have owned and when I go to sell bikes I want to get the best price and I am pretty convinced that top quality photos make a significant difference. And now that I have made an investment I guess I really want to get satisfying results. What I really need to do is learn more about technical details of photography. For instance someone just asked about ISO. I vaguely remember that from my 8th grade photography class but have no idea what ISO is being used. I am really not that far from turning on the camera and selecting one of the preset modes. I am just beginning to get my head around aperature settings and exposure times. Once you get outside of what the preset modes can do things get complicated really fast. I have a really nice camera but I bought it mostly for the high resolution and telephoto lenses. It is probably more then I really need which makes it more complicated.
And I may just have to wait until I can shoot outdoors since one thing I think I need is just more light.
