Don't blame him. You were the first to respond to his thread. Chris:p:p
They sure don't look round to me. Are they just distorted by the close-up? Chris
The light source is on the left. Note the shiny sides of the letters. Chris
No offense, Rick, but how do you convince someone that your photo is an EDS when the close-up distorts so much of the image? The shadows, alone,...
Personally, I think that "industry standard" is just a secondary method of paying less for bulk silver on top of the 10% or 20% or so that buyers...
