I dont know what the mint has done to replace actual frosted surfaces with the "look" of a frosty cameo, but they have failed. The coin's relief...
Well, if you are not talking about the Macro/Micro (means same thing) lens, then you might be better off the the 18-55 in terms of close focus...
While I agree the 18-55 is a very nice kit lens, and very cheap, the best part of the sigma /nikkor macro/micro lens is their abilty to focus at...
Well, I have 40,000 family photos of my kids and wife, etc. yes, 40,000+, that is not an exageration, but there are a few other lens mixed in...
Yes, I can do that for you and anyone else who is curious. I just cant do it tonight, as I have spent too much time on coins this week. Need to...
Well, I will admit I dont read everything you write, so I'm not sure if all of it would confuse me or not. Just most of it. :D Maine is...
I have notice in a few images that my axial lighting setup is introducing very faint rainbows in the images, where the coins have no rainbow...

One more post for tonight. I know I have been blasting the forum lately with my pictures, but hopefully you guys are liking it, and I have not...
Not sure which I like best; normal lighting or axial lighting. For proof coins, normal lighting gives a very stong black & white cameo look....
Great Camera, Great coin, Great photo. :hail: Here is my very first attemp at Axial Lighting. Stole the glass from a framed family photo and...
I was thinking: Wow, those are stunning, and I dont even like Bison Nickels!
I think they graded probably fairly, and gave you the comments to boot. But I dont understand why they would have refunded you and not put them...
Are they from the same series? If not, I have heard people say different series get graded down for different reasons. For example, on some...
Well I dont know if this is my best photo, since I cant seem to ever LOVE pictures I take, I only kinda like them. I posted this elsewhere last...
Yeah, thats nice info, but what about your secret sauce, which I assume is your lighting. I need to replicate your photos! :D
A knife to my heart....but funny. gbroke, those are utterly fantastic! Do you share your photo techniques, or is that a trade secret?
