As anyone who has seen my pitiful attempts at photographing the practice attempts I have tortured y'all with knows, I really needed an upgraded camera. I figured if ya'll are nice enough to look and comment the least I could do is try to upgrade my photos. Based on the advise given in Lee's thread about cameras, I've purchased a Canon G12.
I know less about photography than I do engraving (man that's a scary thought isn't it) so any advise you guys that take these beautiful photos can give to shorten the learning curve a little would be greatly appreciated. If there is a relatively short simple book or write up just covering the basics of what we try to do would be great. I am definitely not an enthusiast so I will probably just leave the dang thing on auto but I don't know anything about how you get a good photo of something like engraving.
Thanks for the help
