Photographing B&W photos from a book?
Discussion
You'll have to bare with me on this one as I'm asking for someone else.
My current boss runs this museum www.tawhitimuseum.co.nz and uses a lot of old photos in his displays. Alot photos from are old B&W ones and when he photographs them on the digital camera (Nikon D40X iirc) some of them come out with like a chequered pattern on the image and he has to change the angle to around 45 Deg to stop this which is no good as some of the picture is lost when changing the angle.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to stop it happening?

Cheers fellas,
From what he's said it prints out like this when it happens.
It's not a regular thing as he'll take a load and they'll be fine.

when contacting the publisher or photographer for permission to use the image, why not just ask them for a copy!
Alot of the books are old and printing companies have long gone and owners died a long time ago (we're talking photos from early settlers of New Zealand) and some are from books he's written himself but as mention printers have long gone and negatives losts.Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
