So have an ok camera, it is a point and shoot, but I can adjust setting like exposure and white balance and stuff. I have used this camera for the last few years with acceptable results.
As my woodworking has gotten bigger I have had issues taking pictures of the items, either because my lighting options were horrible or couldn't get a good background. So I recently bought a white back drop and some big soft box light stands in the hopes of getting more consistent results.
The lighting is now a little TOO intense, the bulbs are too white and it makes things look too blue. I can adjust that out alittle with the setting on the camera, but will try different bulbs that will give a warmer feel to the wood.
But now I'm also noticing that my pictures seem super grainy, is my camera wearing out, or is there some fundamental thing that I'm doing wrong?
Here is an example of the pictures I took today, blue and grainy...
