I'm putting together a small article for a magazine that must include 6-8 photos. The subject of the photos is a small woodworking project at various stages of the build. All photos will be taken indoors. They will be about 3 inches square in the magazine. I know very little about photography, and I only know how to operate a small digital camera without fancy lenses, etc. I don't want to ask the editor what may seem to be rookie photography questions.
I do want to expand my photography abilities, but I don't want to spend a lot of $ on equipment. I'd like to spend no more than $800 at this time and maybe expand later. This opportunity is all I need to persuade DW that I need a new camera.
Any suggestions on cameras on this price range? And more importantly - will I be able to take decent magazine photos within a week of getting a new camera? Or should I have a photographer friend just take the photos?
