Easy buy the Tamron 17-50 2.8 should pick one up second hand for your budget
Easy #2 buy the Tamron 70-300 USD, you might be able to get one in your budget.
I agree with the others it's a focussing problem, try shooting much farther away as with 24 Meg's you can crop the s**t out of it anyway, or buy a macro lens. Getting good product shots does take a bit of practice, I use a light tent and off camera flash and get half decent results but proper...
I like the first one Piers, maybe try fitting a graduated filter upside down to prevent too many blown highlights. Looks like you had a good viewpoint up there, reminds me of the city if jaen in Spain when overlooking from the mountain above. I think with these type of shots it's also good to...
Love the Waterfall mate, although i'd be inclined to crop the little bit of white sky and remove the vignette(?) The colours in the other two seem a little over saturated.
its also about how many of those megapixels a lens can resolve. I suspect the phone lens won't be able to resolve a million pixels where you should find many lens that can out resolve a six meg sensor.
dont forget colour depth and dynamic range too both if which a phone sensor is lacking.
No it wasn't staged that's just the conspiracy theorists, Robert Capa was one of the most famous photographers and covered the Spanish civil war, a recent tape uncovered after his death explained the high angle of the shot.
I'm all for bashing phone quality but lets not forget that the majoirty of the best pictures taken in the last century were on equipment that could be considered light years behind phone quality.
Tack Sharp?
I made a real thing of getting these flash foot things for my two Sony flashes but tbh they are useless for the majority if not all off camera flash, a lighting stand is a much better investment and probably not much more or do as I did and use old tripods! (got two lighting stands and heads...
Well I'd like a sony rx10 as a travel cam. And of course to develop myself photographically, not quite sure what yet, I am enjoying architecture at the moment but want to get back into landscapes again, and I have a load if flash equipment and modifiers just begging to be tested!
No firm plans...
