Building a Photobooth tech Question

->> Howdy folks,
So I have been trying to come up with a good design for a photobooth as a fun, little extra for my wedding business. I've never made one before but I thinking it can't be that difficult. Essentially I would have two lights hooked up to my camera which is triggered with a 5 second delay from a pocket wizard. What I'd like to do is find some use for my old Powerbook G4 computer and use it as a view screen. Is there a way to connect it to my camera and then display the image just taken for a brief length of time? I just want to show a quick look at the photos and not allow wedding guests to scroll through them. Any ideas how I could do this? Do any of you have some design pointers for a photobooth that you could share? |

->> You don't say which camera you are hooking into it, but most of the camera utilities allow you to tether via USB and then set it to watch a folder and the last image shot can be displayed.
Just need to make sure your computer has the right OS to be compatible.
By putting the computer where they can see the screen but not touch the keyboard you can keep them from scrolling through. This should not be hard to do. |
