Some thoughts.
(1) Shoot at ISO 100
(2) use a tripod.
(3) Try to shoot in diffused lighting (light overcast)

If you find you find you want to take it further, almost any DSLR, with a proper (~100mm) macro lens for real close ups, will be fine.
Live view will help with those low angle shots.
The other acessories you may need (for shooting outside) are.
(1) Tripod.
(2) Remote release
(3)Reflectors for bouncing light back into the subject
(4) A diffuser or light tent to soften the sunlight if need be. |
