    • So what type of camera would be ideal to use to capture this light?

    • Gracie,

      The beauty of this type of light is that most any camera is perfect to capture it. " Sweet Light" from a low angle improves even photos taken with disposable cameras. Of course the better the optics on the camera the more clarity in your image.

      I admit I am a long time Nikon user and think pound for pound and dollar for dollar Nikon produces great images. One of the best small range finder/point and shoot cameras I have tested lately are the Lumix cameras by Panasonic.

    • Thank you so much for the response, Jerome. I currently use a Canon G9...which I love! I hope to get into more photography so this was helpful information for a novice photographer such as me! :)
