My first attempt at doing "product photography"

High res image

I dont think it's focussed that well, but hey, what can you do.

Shot with:

Canon EOS 700D • idk 1/200? •Auto ISO • f/4 • 210mm + Full-Frame to APS-C crop factor

Shot with Canon EOS 700D

f/9.0 • 1/125 • 55.00 mm • ISO100

Any criticism welcome, although I'm a newbie to the hobby :)

Rotterdam, The Netherlands

A few days ago, I got myself a Canon EOS 700D DSLR camera along with a Canon EFS 18-55mm lens for about $160. Until now, I've only ever used point-and-shoots, like my smartphone or my "Kodak" Pixpro AZ401.

So, it's basically the first time I get to properly play around with the exposure triangle and all that good, manual stuff. I already love this camera, because despite the low cost, you can get great shots in auto mode out of the box, but it's also very versatile in professional photography. All that, and I still haven't even gotten into editing raw photos; this is just the JPG!

This particular photo of a garden shed was shot with:

ISO: 6400 Exposure: 1/395s Aperture: f/14 Focal length: 46mm Resolution: 5184x3456

From what I've heard, those settings aren't ideal, especially the high ISO for that much light. Does anybody have some general tips for me or resources to check out?

By the way, I also just installed Magic Lantern. That's some great stuff. Oh, and also - if anyone has a good way to connect it as a webcam on Linux, that's also very welcome since EOS Utility doesn't work and Gphoto2 is very low-res. The first thing I didn't get properly running on Linux!
