Affordable Photography: Take Great Photos Without Breaking The Bank

7. A Glass of Wine

Potential Camera: P3200 Where to Purchase: eBay Price: $15* Never before has a wine droplet looked so spectacular. This image of a droplet of wine falling into a glass was captured by a high-speed camera. For something so ordinary, the black and white photo is strangely captivating. This picture may give you the impression that it was taken with a high-end, thousand-dollar camera, but The Dark Room dispels that notion.

A Rebel will work just fine for this; if you wanted to capture something moving faster, like a hummingbird's wings, you'd probably need a more expensive camera.

8. Tempestuous Waters

Potential Lens: Olympus Tough TG-6 Purchase Location: Amazon.com Price: $400* When you're not on a boat, choppy seas shouldn't be a concern. Captured in 2016, this stunning image shows a choppy sea beside the mountains. A small amount of light is visible through the storm clouds as the sun is just beginning to peep over the top of the mountains.

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest waterproof cameras available is the Olympus Tough TG-6. It is suitable for all of your outdoor activities and retails for $400 on Amazon.
