TioLobo Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Any advice would be much appreciated RE using LED lighting for illuminating photo prints while using camera to copy them.
Damien Symonds Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Hi @TioLobo, can you elaborate on the situation a bit? What do you need to achieve, exactly?
TioLobo Posted August 23, 2019 Author Posted August 23, 2019 My wife has some older (pre-digital) photo books she would like to replicate in printed (Shutterfly) books. The plan is to take a digital pic of each page (typically containing more than one mounted photo print). Each pic will become a single Shutterfly page. I’ll rig a flat white-background upon which to mount each subject page in turn and use a 60mm f/2.8 Nikon lens on a tripod-mounted D850 equipped with remote shutter control. I’m looking for advice on using household dimmable LED bulbs for my lighting. Thanks.
Damien Symonds Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 It doesn't have to be LED lighting, and it certainly doesn't need to be dimmable. The only challenge you face (and it's a big one) is positioning the prints in such a way that they don't get any glare from the lights.
TioLobo Posted August 23, 2019 Author Posted August 23, 2019 Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate your availability to those in need of greater knowledge and experience in these matters. One other question if I may: What aperture range do you recommend in this type of application, and why?
Damien Symonds Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 I assumed you were writing to me because you'd read this article, but maybe you haven't?
