How to Make Usefull Stock Photos without Expensive DSLR     posted on 22nd of august, 2007
It's not the camera that makes good pictures, it's the eye behind, we all know that, but a pro or semi-pro camera (DSLR) with good lenses makes it a lot easier to take perfect pictures thats a fact, too.


But what does one do without the money to by all that fancy gear?

Very simple - get to know the limits of your camera and/or flatbed scanner, experiment and try over and over - again and again ...
