trying out pictures

[Australian coin]

trying to do threepence pics - this is with iso 80

[attachment=1447]
ok a darker background makes the coin look much nicer, also added a picture of my set up today, its cheap but its doing the job, a lid + coin and using a paperweight to put the camera on so it doesn't shake.

any tips to improve the image




ok added a light source, it was just a torch, but wow that really brings out the detail, might have to look into a better thing than a torch, maybe to ebay for some led's,  haha I have a serious dust problem, electrical items crate static.

Robster not around, Both he and Nancy (And Myself)
use Photoscape, good little program once you have
a nice little play and practice. Free Download.:good:

Photoscape rocks! :yahoo:

[Robster]

Nancy put me onto Photoscape editing program, I found a free download fron the CNET site.!
Simple to use and perfect for cropping, resizing and circular cropping imo.!
I have found that resizing to 600x600 is a great side for posting.!!

You can choose the background colour to contrast with the chosen coin.!
Here is a pic of Nancy noodling.!

i dont  how to start a new post , so i will put it here

 question , i have a 1938 new guinea penny listed for sale on ebay starting at .99 cents . it has 3 bids and still only . 99 cents , how can that be ..   ,, kel ,,

 also what do i do to start a new thread please ,.,, kel ,,

[Nevol]

All 3 bids are from the same bidder. The bidder decided that the 1st bid wasn't high enough and increased it, then decided to increase it again.
