Author	Topic: Any tips on taking photos of Hallmarks
doobees Posts: 277 Registered: Jan 2003	posted 02-20-2003 03:37 AM I am at a point where I know I'm in need of another way to photograph hallmarks. I like to document the results of my research results on interesting pieces. Right now, I just use the small camera on my computer that I use for video conferences. Unfortunately, this has no "zoom" capabilities, so I often end up using that, over a loop or some other magnification - which has to be handheld - as does the small camera on my computer... which leaves me no hands free to click on the mouse. Well, you can imagine that I'm twisted up like a pretzel after all this and still the quality of the photo is poor. Before I venture out to purchase something more efficient, I'd love advice on what works best. I'd really appreciate any suggestions . Merci! ------------------ IP: Logged
