Saving digital pics direct to hard drive
Discussion
With most DSLRs you can shoot tethered straight to disk using the supplied software (EOS Utility on Canons) and a cable from camera to computer (USB or Firewire).
I would set the camera up on a tripod shooting towards a plain background, manual focus and metering (so they all look similar) and a cross on the floor for subjects to stand on.

I need to take lots of passport type pics and save them with a file name in a format of Surname_Name.jpg for loading onto a security system.
Any ideas gratefully received.

Schools these days often use electronic registers with images of each child alongside provided by the school photographer. For a small project the cost of something similar would be prohibitive I'm sure but if you're doing thousands it could be worth looking in to.
