The micro stock techniques necessary for efficient image capture from still life composition and motion picture extraction need to be honed and studied for best delivery of premium low cost legal images.
Shopping for a camera should incorporate all the uses you have for it and add to your scope and performance in delivery of micro stock images. Take some materials or items with you and test the camera in a trial setting. Think about the best complement to the camera your currently own, not a match to it or an update.
I like to make sure I have as many resources available as possible. But this leads to chronological backup in image review. Weed a little when you can, but I tend to need some absorptive Youtube palliation to get the photograph examination and deletion sequence going. Yes, I have plenty of room on the hard drive. But I know if I let it go too far, any system crash and blue screen boot is my own fault. Clipping unusable photos whenever I can saves time and resources.
Don’t upsize or enlarge your images. Resolution will diminish and quality and appeal will fall off sharply. Crop to absolute best size, edging out blurs, points, and detracting flaws. This is why a large megapixel value on a camera gives the best flexibility when cropping. With a 12 megapixel camera, two thirds of the shot can edited out without sacrificing submission potential.
