Looks great. Do you use Photoshop? If you do there are a few suggestions on the thread for Photography section. But you look like you've got the hang of it.

Very nice pics. May I ask what you are using for lighting and how is it setup?

Very nice pictures Zachary, what program are you using? Is it a Microscope with a computer hook up?

The 1909 is VF condition. I like that year.

ZZoombrowser??? Care to elaborate? I could use something like that. My photos leave 500% to be desired!

Zooombrowser is a program that lets me hook up my camera directly to my computer. It shows me the viewfinder and let's me control zoom aperture and shutter and other misc stuff. I think it only works with canon but I'm not sure. It came with my camera.

That is what I would like to do. It would be worth a try, who knows, it might work with other types of camera. Do you have photoshop? I can burn a cd for you, of you don't. I have photoshop 7.0.

You are correct. It is a Cannon feature that they offer.

Looks interesting, but I don't need another camera! I have five already, and can do just about anything this camera app shows. The programs that came with the different cameras allow me to pick anything, flat-bed scanner, the QX3, or any of the cameras, so I'm not hurting, in that rspect. My problem is learning to make overlays. I'm still working on that. Each time, I get a bit closer. One of these days, one will come out, ad then.....

Just reading this thread, and I don't know if I had the Canon Powershot then, or not, but I do now, and the zoom-browser is like having two extra hands! I also finally found a photography set up that I like. It will be here in a few days. "Life is good"!
