Photographing Cannabis

I'm adding this thread in the hopes that there are others like me who really enjoy photographing thier plants in an artistic light.

I invite you to post some of your nicest snaps in terms of artisic merrit as opposed to impressiveness of the grow. Its not to say pics of awesome grows arent fun to look at.

I'll get the ball rolling - took this one with the white balance way off by accident and it came out really cool. It was set to tungsten light and this was taken in natural light. (Canon 5D)



These two I put some art behind the plants and the shallow depth of focus blurred all the colours


Hope to see your pics soon!

Nice ones

Great detail on that pic!

I actually submitted those to HT this morning after I took them

I'll try to get a few tonight.

Now thats some fantastic trich detail. I see you have a shallow depth of field in the pic aswell, has that burred background-dreamy look. Focusing on where the light hits makes a very pretty picture.

I can see why, the pics look very natural indeed.

Holy cow! was that taken under an hps light? Nice colours going on there. This is what I was hoping for, amazing pics so far people!

Super Lemon Haze...fuck yeah!

Cool, looks like it has yellow claws, nice pic, and might I add another fat cola.

Btw folks if you dont know already you can left click the image u upload and a menu will come up. You can change the pic size from thumbnail to fullsize and it will display alot larger.

What cameras are you guys using, my iphone does not take these type of detail pics. Please suggest, like after you do I want to go buy one

By the looks of the photos so far I would hazard a guess to say these are DSLRs. Mine certainly is, its a Canon EOS 5D Mark2 and a serious bit of kit at that. Might set you back as much as £2000 these days, about $3100. Prices might very recently have dropped due to the release of the Mark3 though.

Then again technolgy is always suprising me, I bet after me saying that someone says 'Nope I used my phone'

I use a Nikon D300 with a 18-200 lens...it's an SLR...

nice, I wanted to get a 5D, but it was too expensive for me, so I settled for the Nikon...how's that full frame sensor working out for you?

Just checked both of those out, too much money for sure. No wonder they look so damm good

Btw thanks for posting so far, keep em comming!

Honestly though you can pick up a nice SLR for much cheaper and its going to do alot of the same things the expensive ones do. You pay alot of money for the lenzes aswell so you can save by getting one second hand. You could probably sort out something very respectable for around the $600/$700 dollar mark

yeah, if you're on a budget, you can try to find a slightly older/second hand model...you could get a good camera for $200-250...

Ive got a 300x scope, I go in there and look at them and the trichs just look fantastic, I might just rent one for the day. Cool stuff
