Technical details
The pictures of breweriana displayed on this website were taken with a Nikon D90 camera (18-105/F3.5-5.6 zoom) / Nikon D7100 (85/F1.8G zoom), developed by Lightroom 4.1/5.3 and retouched by Photoshop CS5.
Viva-Lite CFL G23 (5500 K full spectrum lamps) were used for our pictures. The photo studio was realized on a simple wood table.
Finally, JPEG pictures were created and optimized for the web, thanks to XNConvert + JPEG Mini.
