Did you post this one in another thread?, the brown color on the obverse does it refer to land / soil?
Um - I don't think so. Did I lose track of the coins? The brown refers to the refection of my carpet on the coin with low light and no flash with the new camera. I took the rest of the Philadephia coins, so maybe i doubled up on one. But I think your confusing it with the 10 Pruta of which I now have 2 1954s (don't ask me why). One is slabbed the over is the new one in a 2x2 flip. I might have one or two more to post.
I'm going to need a better tripod for this macro photography. Good thing I don't shoot a rifle any more.
I tried to look it up in your most recent posts, but there were too many of them As for the tripod, it depends on the weight of your camera / lense.
yeah, its an old style camera like an ae1. Cheap but manual with a macro lens that has no field depth.
btw they usually show up on my website if you loose track. Mandy has me roped into doing her photography but I got camera out of it, if I learn how to use it..
is it a canon AE-1?, I was thinking about getting one just to see how film photography works .. Digital is much easier and faster ..
I know you can read differently, but film beats the heck out of digital cameras thus far. A cubic cm of film has more information than the entire surface of a high tech digital camera. The AE-1 also has this capacity of a biplaner object in the middle of the view finder which when you reach focus, line up. It made for extremely accurate picture taking. Much better than any of the digital camera I've seen thus far. Ruben
Hi Ruben, While a better tripod is a good thing, I do not think that is your problem. I think you are getting camera shake because you are not using mirror lockup. I am not even sure if you camera has this feature. What happens on an SLR is the mirror needs to get out of the way before the shutter fires, and it flips up. You get quite a slap actually. It will be more pronounced, the slower you are shooting. When you use mirror lockup, the first, click from you remote shutter release, will flip the mirror. Your viewfinder then goes black. You wait a few seconds for the camera to settle down, then click the shutter again to take the shot. the mirror does slap back now, but it is no issue, because the shot is over. This is not a problem with P&S camera's since there is no mirror. Mike
I believe you mike, and I remember my AE-1 doing just that, but trust me, I had an accident and broke my left hand metapaspel under the pinkie completely in half and ruined my right wrist and elbow as well. And then add 30 uears of Pharmacy typing and screwing child safety bottles. These hands can not hold a cup of coffee steady any more I've aged more in the last year then I did in all the 48 years before that. Ruben
