Here's my new attempt with an X in the center to help focusing. The X has been digitally removed in this image. Taken with f/16. I realise that gave the entire bookmark more clarity. Any lower and the top and bottom starts to blur. First time using Manual Exposure mode. Pretty fun. Uneven...

Sounds like it could work. Not sure if my cheapo sony tripod can do that. try...;p

As hiring a photographer might be costly and I sort of wish to learn the art I'm planning to shoot myself. I'm a designer and I'm planning to sell products that I have design and started a website and in the website there will be a gallery where I want the pictures to be similar to those found...
