I remember when I was a kid and wanted to get into photography, cameras were so expensive. Now, you go to any outdoor event and everybody has a digital camera or a camera on their cell phone. How times have changed!

I have tried taking up close pictures and even with my new D60 they turn out grainy for indoor shots. I was getting frustrated and thought it was a flash issue. I've read about indirect flash techniques, but this is more on topic. Thanks for sharing.

Great post, Derek – there are some helpful ideas here! I learned once, from a MomPack.com member, that you could create a light-filtering area with a plastic milk jug. If you are photographing very small items, this works wonders! You just cut the bottom and the top of the jug off and take the pic looking down into the jug.

This reminds me of the post on making a light tent on Digital Photography School.
