Post by: petpat on March 21, 2015, 03:54:56 PM

Hi All

I have viewed a number of images posted here of coins at a very close range. Can anyone give me pointers on how to take these sorts of images.

Keep Looking in your change, you never know what you might find.

Welcome to the forum Petpat.

What sort of camera do you have already or what sort of budget do you have to buy a camera?

I have a 16mp digital camera
I don't want to spend a fortune on getting pictures.
I'd sooner spend money on more coins and notes.
