My DIY Photo Copy Stand

Sunday, 28-April-2024 - Veghel - This is my homemade copy stand, made using a simple idea and high-quality components for mounting my Olympus TG-4. This is my alternative to using a scanner to digitize our family photos. 

I was inspired by photographers Peter Krogh and Alexander Matragos. I have another setup for digitizing 35mm film inspired by Peter Forsgård. Thanks to Wim van Schaijk for finding and sawing the plywood for this project.
