Canon PowerShot A640

So I started a new project today in which I will be using layers from photoshop to create a flash animation of how some new plastic fasteners will work on our lanyards. Lanyards with these fasteners will be great for hospitals, children, and chemical plants because they are not sharp or metallic in any way. I began by taking some macro (really close setting) pictures of all the fasteners with my Canon PowerShot A640 that I got about 8 months ago. I am extremely impressed with the quality images I got out of the camera! One can see the threads in the lanyard and the bumps on the plastic. I have always used this camera for outdoor shots, but I think I will be using it more for stock photography now! I always knew it took macro pictures, but I think I underestimated how it would handle in a studio type environment. I highly recommend this camera to anyone considering buying it for any purpose other then low lighting scenarios. Just to make things clear I wanted to let everyone know I did use Photoshop CS3′s Quick Mask tools to get the pictures as white as I could, although the Canon did good enough with it’s high shutter speed!
