>>1248411I take pictures of small wildlife like amphibians a lot, I have for a couple years. I have a cheap nikon body, a $300 macro lens, and a cheap flash and a cheap softbox.
I have never come even remotely close to taking a picture as clear, sharp, and realistic looking as, for example, pic related. Yeah, it's super professional, and I'm obviously not going to get that quality on my shoddy equipment.
I know it's a mixture of my inferior skill and my inferior equipment, but I don't know what to work to improve. How do I achieve this
