Coin Plates

I'm beginning to feel the same way. I've also got two sons of exactly the same description. One of them doesn't care about his property at all, even if he's worked for the money to buy it! I don't get that at all. And he's constantly breaking stuff around the house because he manhandles it, so whatever he makes on his odd jobs goes to fixing the stuff he broke. What the hell? I'm hoping he just grows out of it, because I can't tell him anything.

The various coins in your plates are lighted from different directions. I consider that good if you are considering what is best for each coin and bad if you are flopping them down at random. For example, Roman plate 2 #3 is lighted from the bottom which is an angle that I almost never find acceptable. #11 is from the back of the head. Is there a reason? What I'm trying to accomplish here is to make you consider all the options before you shoot and select the one that fits the coin. Overall, I prefer coins with less harsh light like #7 but this is yuou book so you need to select what pleases you.

I have been intending to make a book at Costco just for the experience of doing it. The problem is what book to make. I had thought about a hardcover version of something on my website like the Vocabulary section with larger photos and trimmed text. Easier might be a top 50 coins survey. I have not decided when or if I will take the time to do it. When finished, my library would have one very rare and rather expensive book that I'd never want to read so I really don't know why the idea appeals to me. Still, it does.

 

Doug, the images are a hodge-podge of shots with no particular rhyme or reason. I'm gradually acquiring some equipment to improve the quality. Your photography pages have been very helpful, thank you. I'd buy your book!
