Hello:
What kind of techniques are you using to take photos of books in close-up? Yesterday I took this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmyv/4357519848/ Thanks for the technical comments about photography. -- MMYV http://www.mmyv.com |

"The righteous is delivered out of trouble" It appears that you're not very righteous, considering all the troubles you're having with any kind of photography that you've ever attempted. Thanks for the laugh! LOL! For those of you that don't want to waste your bandwidth, it's just a very very very bad photograph of a bible. You know, that book that everyone reads to make themselves even more ignorant in order to amplify their stupidity-bliss. Oh, if only this moron would read a book or two on photography instead, we wouldn't all have to suffer his "righteousness". LOL! |

He gets off on tearing people down and building himself up. Draco's advice is good for getting a good photo of books. |

I had the impression that he was attempting to capture the book as a subject of interest and not capturing the book to document or copy pages. Some books are interesting subjects because of the binding and general interest of their appearance. In the case of the photo he's trying to capture, the photographer should be closer to straight-on but still be able to include the body of pages. As usual with mm's photos, the background should be better. He doesn't seem to have a sense of being able to "pose" his subject in either an appropriate background or a neutral background. This book would photograph better on a solid color cloth with, perhaps, something like a chalice or a votive candle in the scene. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida |

It's a photograph. Decent. Could be better, could be worse. |

To be blunt, you and others have been giving the OP some excellent advice since I have been lurking on this list. His failure to show any signs of attempting to follow it, leads me to wonder why he bothers. Even more interesting is why anyone bothers. -- Peter |
