I just haven't found the right recording method for my pictures. My scanner washed everything out, and my camera can't capture the colors the way I'd like. When I use flash, I have to add contrast (making the center bright) and it makes anything reflective shine, but when I don't, the color gets very weird, and it's hard to get a steady picture.
So I'll just have to find a GOOD scanner- but until then, the digital camera will have to do.
