Can someone give me some tips for getting good headstone photographs? Usually, I get a picture of the headstone but not the inscriptions. Thanks Doris ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Doris, I have always had good luck with just my 35 ml camera. I understand Digital comers are better, I do not know (yet). I lot depends o the quality of the inscriptions and how it matches up with the rest of the stone. The lighting and the angle can make a difference here. If I can read it with my eyes, so can the camera for the most part. Maybe some one will have some more professional tips.

I always carry a can of shaving cream and spray the inscription - no matter how shallow the inscription is it photographs great. charmaine On 6/3/07, Dontest@aol.com <Dontest@aol.com> wrote: > > Can someone give me some tips for getting good headstone photographs? > Usually, I get a picture of the headstone but not the inscriptions. > Thanks > Doris > > > > ************************************** See what's free at > http://www.aol.com. > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > TXREDRIV-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
