Hello, I am investigating the Nikon DX80 and a wide angle lens. I am a faux finisher and in the past have not been able to get nice pictures for my website (fauxscapes.com). Some of the issues I'm trying to overcome are....getting full shots of rooms and commercial jobs..nice shots of ceiling work...too much reflection in finishes that have metallic in them....full pictures of room where the art is on a wall and the room is too small to back up enough, such as tanning booths and powder bathrooms...too much sunlight coming through windows...and getting the detail of the wall finishes to show in my pictures. I've been told that the Nikon DX80 is the best camera for what I need, but I'm not sure on which wide angle lens to purchase. And I'd also like to know if I should learn to use some sort of filters for pictures of my finishes.
Thanks to anyone who can guide me in the right direction! I'm soooooo lost....I'm a painter, not a photographer!!
Thanks,
Marti
P.S. I cannot afford a professional photographers services at this time!!!
