my son bought a great canon for around $600 and he takes absolutely fantastic photos

now, I know if used that same camera the pics would be no where near the same quality

he has figured out all that stuff that Mark and the other photo buffs talk about

Our old Nikon point and shoot was $400 or so a few years back and that does everything you could think of.  It took perfectly acceptable images.

Probably shouldn't mention this,,buut, I keep an eye out for old Tupperware, bright colours, certain design on containers, some are worth good money. Anyway back to coins.

The missus saw my new OTT light on my desk (Folded up) and enquired as to why I needed such a big "Speaker".
I just shrugged and let that one go :diablo:

[robbiegal]

don't tell her
she'll have that old dusty embroidery kit out in no time and you'll never lay hands on the ott light again!

you have been warned of the way of the woman
:agreed:

gotta love it !! :heart: :agreed:

[trout]

OK
ISO 200 and  image quality set at Normal

[serial]

your taking the pictures at a slight angle?
you should try to be above the coin
bring the light source closer as well
but that is better than the previous one

[markn]

Here's a tough one to image.  It's got lovely toning and you can only get it to "pop" when the coin is tilted.  So I tilt it adjust the focus so that the middle of the medal is in focus and the top and bottom is always slightly out of focus.  Even when I set the F stop to F19 or F22.  I thought at that level the focal plane would be wide enough to get the whole thing in focus.  But no.  Anyone got any suggestions?
