Choosing camera help - zoom needed?
Comments (11)I seldom "zoom in" for shots of the roses because I have good access to them. I do need to zoom in for roses on climbers. The zoom facility is mainly used for sceneries and group photography, to compose the picture. Unless you buy a DSLR with a fixed lens option almost all, if not all, point and shoots have zoom lenses I agree that the macro option is a far more important tool for close up photography. For my old Canon G6, I need to switch to macro mode for any objects much closer than 3 feet. There isn't a simple relationship between zoom and macro. At the closest of distance - within 10 cm my G6 macro won't work with any degree of zooming out. As I increase the distance, I can use increasing degrees of zoom. But then it defeats the purpose, as I can get much closer and better images close up and at the shortest focal length, rather than moving away from the object and combining zoom and macro. The only exception is if I need to change the perspectives or if I want to narrow the depth of field + then moving back, zooming in and opening the shutter achieves that effect in combination. Do you need zoom? Not entirely necessary for rose photography. But if you are paying good money for a piece of equipment, it is unlikely that you will limit it's uise for rose photography. You will soon find yhourself using it for all sorts of other things. For the latter reason, a zoom is a must have. What should the power of the zoom be? The answer is that you get what you pay for. Another uimportant consideration is the quality of the optics. If you are getting a low cost camera, be aware that any higher levels of zoom may mean a sacrifice in image quality - the worse effect is vignetting.. I use the reviews from www.dprevierw.co. Their reviews are pretty detailed. If you are not interested in the details you can skip to the last one or two pages which gives the pro and cons summary....See MoreWeed Identification Help (Top View Zoom)

Comments (10)I get it. It definitely depends on the nature of the business. One of my colleagues created a background utilizing our corporate logo and brands, and it was quite nice. Another used a beach background. (Really? You're in Tahiti? 😁) The ability to create our own backdrops reminds me a bit of being a kid and finally having my own school locker to decorate. I guess we never outgrow the desire for self-expression. Yours is a fun exercise, but many of us have to be careful about the message conveyed in the real world. So I guess the practical takeaway is to have fun being creative, while understanding that practical application may be something different. Just my two cents. (Oh, and please don't eat your lunch whilst the meeting is underway. Yep. Have seen, and heard, that recently. No.)...See MoreZoom meeting decor
Comments (31)I use the blur feature as my office space is also in our master bedroom. Otherwise you'd see a wall and the side of a cabinet with a TV on top and a giant pink unicorn in the background on top of a cedar chest ;) Left over from my daughters younger days, but I'm not allowed to get rid of it yet. It's all good though as she is in that awkward in between of wanting to be grown, but also being a little girl, so sometimes it still gets snuggles....See MoreJ. F
