Thanks for sharing, these pics are so cool. I love the SeaCraft ad. I grew up a few miles from their shop in Wilmington Ma. I have one of their double tank back .plates

Sorry for the crap quality, honestly I thought they looked decent when I took them. Guess I have a lot to learn about photo taking? Mark

I'm a learner too, Mark, when it comes to using a digital camera. I've learnt to "crop" camera images using the old "Paint" program to get rid of the parts of the image I don't want or need. I find that the camera works very well when photographing items of gear but less well when taking snapshots of the pages of books, catalogues and magazines. If I want to photocopy from a book, magazine or catalogue, I invariably use my printer's scanning facility instead. The lid, additionally weighted (with a bowl of fruit in my case) or unweighted, flattens the page onto the glass and keeps out peripheral light. The accompanying scanner software permits: * a choice of resolution with 300 dots per inch as the norm but higher ones too, such as 1200 dpi * the possibility of optical character recognition so that output text can be selected, copied and pasted into Word, say * a choice of output as an image file (e.g. .jpg, .png) for posting in Flickr, say, or as a multi-page PDF as is the case with the Mar-vel catalogue I shared a few messages back. Scanning pages isn't foolproof and sometimes it's hard to flatten pages enough for a perfectly clean copy. When I scanned the catalogue, I had to place every second page upside down otherwise I would have missed text close to the margins. I then had to flip the page 180 degrees each time to get it facing upwards for correct inclusion in the final output PDF. DRW

I do love me a tripod when I do my images: my hands shake, a lot, and my images are too blurry without one. If I don't have one handy, I find something to steady the shot, a rock, book chair, or a tree: the closer you are to an image the more any sort of movement will show...

I just use my phone for these. Just spur of the moment type thing. Mark
