Simple mod that adds a "Photo Apparatus"
Once equipped, you'll see camera GUI that has viewfinder box and zoom bar.
Viewfinder box shows what part of your screen will be "screenshoted". Zoom bar shows your current zoom level, which you can change either slowly (using CTRL + scrolling up/down) or instantly to minimum/maximum zoom (CTRL + Shift + scroll).
Now (in survival) you need to have vanilla empty map in your inventory, since, well, this camera uses it like a film.
If you done selecting the best angle and zoom, just press right mouse button to take a picture
