Dear List,
I am also looking to
buy similar equipment. I need a tripod/camera/laptop setup to photograph
documents while they are lying on a table.
I could really use
some direction in type of camera and lenses, and I have never really worked with
a tripod, especially one that turns the camera lens down toward a table. I
would like for the camera to be connected to a laptop so that the images will
appear on screen as they are taken.
I saw a man doing
this recently at the National Archives II.
Any help or
direction is appreciated! Thank you.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] photo
equipment for digitization?
Dear
List,
My
director just called and told me I had an unexpected 6-7 thousand dollars to
purchase needed equipment and supplies. I am primarily the archivist, but
because we don't have an objects curator, I end up taking care of all of those
duties as well.
I'd like
part of the money to go towards setting up an area with a backdrop, camera
stand/tripod, and the proper kind of lighting so we can make digital pics of
our artifacts, but I don't know where to start. We have a pretty good digital
camera alreadybut can't change the lenses or anything.
I've
looked at camera stands, but I don't think it will work because we have a
number of larger artifacts that wouldn't fit in the photo area.
Any
suggestions will be welcome. Replies can be sent off list.
Thank
you!
