    I went back and was reading, forgive me if I missed it but if you're wanting to reverse a lens for macro and it's not got a manual aperture you can use one of these.

    Ok so tell me if I did ok! I got to looking around and my wife reminded me I had some Dell giftcards that we're going to expire soon. So I get up there and find what I feel is a pretty good package deal.

    They had a Canon SL1 with 18-55mm IS STM lens and EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III lens. Added a small bag and a Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens all for $880 shipped before I threw in a few hundred in GC's. I also get 10% back on the $880. So total cost to me was $620.

    Edit: The D40 was given to me but ill pass it on to someone else is in need as I just didn't feel it would meet my expectations. I've been wanting one of my own anyway and it didn't take much convincing on my part with the wife. I told her I guess I could take pics of the kids too... Hehe
    I don't know much about Canon, since I'm a Nikon shooter, but I'm sure that'll be a nice setup.

    That canon will serve you good for a number of years til you have the skills for a more expensive body. I know we discussed this but I'll reiterate.

    So my new 40mm f/2.8 STM lens came in today. Still waiting for the SL1 and my 50mm f/1.8. Hopefully in the next few days they'll show up.

    Here's a quick snap with my phone of my "lightbox" thanks to jerry at the beginning of this thread. Seems to work quite well.

    Okay guys, I need some help. I decided to get into photography here recently and I've been taking amateur photos with an iPhone 6 for a couple weeks. My dad just gave me his old Canon Rebel XTI and I need help setting it up. I put together a lightbox earlier with 1" PVC and four 8.5 and two 5.5 inch lights with 100W 5000K bulbs. I took the first couple photos on "Flash-Off" and it was way too dark. Then I switched to Manual and tried adjusting a few of the settings, mainly the exposure, but couldn't really figure out a combination that worked. The image kept coming out very blurry. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Just let me know if you need any more info from me in order to help.

    Thanks,
    Josh

    If not using a tripod, turn up your shutter speed, open the aperture and turn up ISO. Go from there.
