So we're getting DD a passport, and I couldn't swallow paying $8 to Walgreens or Kinkos or wherever for passport pictures of uncertain quality (I've heard horror stories). So I set up a chair with a piece of posterboard on the wall behind it. I put a work light behind the chair to light up the background (you're not allowed to have shadows in the picture), and took several shots of DD with my new XSi. I cropped and sized according to the guidelines at the state department's website and got the pictures printed together on a single 4x6 at Walgreens (price: 20 cents). Long story short, DD got to choose the shot that she thought turned out best, I saved nearly 8 bucks, and the clerk at the post office wanted to know where we got such good, sharp pictures taken
