How do you all take such great pics of your upper and lower arches (looking up/down)?

I got a new digital camera for my birthday two weeks ago and I just can't seem to get it right.

What's the trick?

What the great and wounderful KK said is what I did with my camera!

About a year ago there was a poster on here who was a professional photographer and I put up this same topic. His reply was to plug the camera into the TV and then use it as your monitor to see how the picture looks or to have someone else tell you how it looks (since they can see it so big and clear).

Hopefully your camera came with a cable (yellow/red) to plug into your TV. Otherwise, follow Kiwi's advice and take lots so you can pick the best!!

I just bought a new camera (still waiting for Amazon to deliver) so I can take better ones as my old camera just can't do it. :( Camera limitations have been a problem for me.

IMO, I think the most important tip is to use something to stabilize the camera. A tripod, shelf, etc.

I find that turning off the flash and going to a window for natural light really helped solve this.

The best way is to get somebody else to do it for you!

My husband does mine as he's a keen photographer and has all the gear. He uses a macro lens and a ring flash which gives even lighting.
