How are all the noodlers going?

Kel, you don't need any fancy camera either to get a reasonable pic.
Mine is just an $80 Fuji and I use it on fully auto, so no settings to mess around with.

I had a look but couldn't find Nancy's post with her cut down milk bottle setup. Hopefully it will come to light.
That would be a good start Kel; try to duplicate that.

The more light the better but it should be diffuse. Spotlight direct on a nice bright coin will just give you lots of reflections. That is the milk bottle secret -even out the light.
That is not necessarily inconsistent with lighting from one side to pick up detail.

I feel that I am the only one that can't take a reasonable photo to display any of my coins that I have to show ,   example of that is when I find or buy another coin that I want to show , I have trouble taking a good picture so I don't even try any more .

Eh, I tried once and couldn't be bothered figuring it out so I just don't take photos of my coins.

[attachment=3775][attachment=3774][attachment=3773][attachment=3772][attachment=3771]this is the new light I just bought so I hope it will help me to take better pic,s now .
it is on the base at number 2 pic and has 18 small lights around the outside and a magnified glass on top with a cover over the glass that you open up when looking for small errors . and has a flex cord to bend into different positions .

Just went through $100 of 20¢ and the largest number of non platypus reverse was New Zealand 20¢. Also a Fiji 20¢.
Not what I was really looking for.

 It looks impressive Kel, I hope it does the job for you. I look forward to seeing some stunning piccies.

"Just need 3 more and I have his batting average."
And you will also need a clipped one to do it accurately. Bradman batting average 99.94. :taunt:
