[QUOTE="Todd Williams, post: 5171119, member: 115645"]Hi Ya'll. I'm new at this having just inherited my grandad's coin collection. Links below. I really want to photograph the US Type Set with Gold and the 1909 S-VDB. I am prepared to make modest investments in my set up to get these coins photographed and posted here on Coin Talk for advice on candidates for grading. No one works for free but at the same time, I was wondering if someone might find it fun to help me figure out how to get this done. I've got a Canon Rebel DSLR with an 18-55mm lens and a 55-250mm lens. Tripod. External flash with Shoe Cord. No macros. I've seen a number of videos about how to create a simple setup but I'm not a photographer and it's all mumbo jumbo at this stage for me. I watched Bill Larson's video on YouTube and couldn't get my gear working right. If anyone's interested in a couple of Zoom sessions to get me going (much less something in person near Dallas, Texas) then please PM me. You'll get photog credit with every coin I post on CT. Just need mentoring ahead of the Houston Coin Show at the end of January where I plan to get some of these coins graded. I have no idea whether this comes off as a pure mooch thing or an interesting collaboration for fun but thought I'd try here either way.
