Macro Mania Photoday

primarily use burst mode
shoot in raw, unless you want to take longer burst (my 20D can do about 6 raws before pausing, but [...]

PhotoScanner Post Processing

I am now “developing” the photos that I “scanned” in previously.  Here is what it looks like:

The photo that I am working on has already been cropped.

PhotoScanner Studio

Click to see full size pictures.  This is an example of WordPress’s photo gallery function.

#gallery-3 {

margin-top: 10px;
text-align: center;

#gallery-3 img {
border: 2px solid #cfcfcf;
}
#gallery-3 .gallery-caption {
margin-left: 0;
}

I got my photograph photography studio set up.  And I am please by the results, much better than any personal scanner that I’ve tried.  Adjusting [...]
