Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/02/2021 6:43 pm Nice photos. Since you asked it's a hard choice! The 50 works for my eyes to offer some contrast and sense of elevation to letters and other features. However, it has lots of reflection, too, and I wonder if the 60 mm photo is truer to the color? I like the "D" on the right and the reverse shots that are farther away. I find with my photos that are not as good as yours that too close distorts features.

Eyez Pillar of the Community United States 584 Posts	Posted 02/03/2021 12:12 pm i almost feel the the 60mm gives more 3d image but hence I ask, but 2nd day owning it so more to goof with. Report this Post to the Staff

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 02/04/2021 8:43 pm Good call. I think "vibrant" is the right word. That describes the distinction I saw, too. I am still trying to decide what equipment I actually need. It's easy to spend more than necessary... Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff

Eyez Pillar of the Community United States 584 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 6:19 pm @rmpsrpms yeah I have been trying to bring them up more for a blossom effect as you will to soften the light but make it efficient enough not to have to lower my shutter speed. However more worried about the aperture and iso then the speed. Edited by Eyez 02/05/2021 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 8:47 pm You should set the ISO at 100, fixed, and aperture at f5.6. max f8 for Cents. Lighting angle is much more about getting the highlights and shadows to show up in the right places, and really not at all about exposure.
