“What you need:
1. A digital camera that allows you to set exposure manually.
2. A sturdy tripod.
3. A subject (i.e., what you’re taking the picture of) that does not move.
4. A computer with Photoshop CS2 or higher installed.”
“If you have a camera that supports it, it also helps to have a “cable release”, which is basically a little shutter button that attaches to your camera via a wire, so when you push the button to take the picture, you don’t nudge the camera at all.”
