You may have to refresh your browser or something. They seem to be showing up for me. Can anyone confirm they can see the first images?
wowzer!!! Can you get all the error/variety collectors to use this technique? I can never see what the heck they are trying to show, but this technique we could sort the phonies from the real deal.
These were done with my Canon T2i, with 10x microscope objective. The 51-D/S is a focus stack of 21 images. The focus stacker creates a depth map as it renders the stack, and can use that depth information to recreate a 3D image.
Here's a 1949-S Lincoln Cent DDO#3 presented with a couple of techniques. Unprocessed image using 5x magnification, 25-stack of images: Unprocessed image using 10x magnification, 36-stack of images: 3D processed 10x image but looking straight on to compare with unprocessed: 3D processed 10x image looking at 45-deg from 9:00: 3D processed 10x image looking at 45-deg from 2:00 I think this technique is useful to help visualize these kind of variety details in a similar way to viewing then with a microscope, at least the way I view them. I'm not so sure the 3D versions of these is all that useful, but some may like them. I find them kind of gimmicky, and while they can be sort of cool they don't offer any more information than the 2-D perspective views above. If you disagree, let me know. It's not too hard to include 3D versions of these. Ray
