The camera was probably only about 6” above the coin so it was easy to hold the camera very still by touching my elbows to the table surface.&nbsp; The camera was set to manual with selections for macro and no flash.&nbsp; The coin is illuminated by a couple incandescent light bulbs reflected off the ceiling.&nbsp; I purchased this Walker at a coin show last weekend so it is also a new purchase.&nbsp; I bought it raw in a Capital plastic holder.&nbsp; Of course, I am interested in your grade opinions of the coin.&nbsp; (IMO I stole it for Gray sheet MS60 money).</font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/CopyofIMG_0009.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3">I hope to be taking good photos once I figure out how to use all the features of the new camera.&nbsp; I’m going to a really nice Mediterranean city right now so I’ll put the camera through its paces.&nbsp;&nbsp; </font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3"><img src="http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/ab269/collect89/CopyofIMG_0012.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3">This last photo (of the type set) was shot from 4.5 feet away with the camera held by hand (steady).&nbsp; The two incandescent lamps and some overhead fluorescent lamps provided the ambient illumination.&nbsp; Again, I just cropped the picture to post it here.&nbsp; It has not yet been Photoshop-ed.&nbsp; If you zoom-in you can really see detail in all the type coins.&nbsp; IMO it is not bad for being 4.5 feet away and hand held.&nbsp; There may be some anti-shake processing in the camera or it may have a short exposure time.</font></font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3">Thanks for letting me share &amp; I’ll post more coins later. </font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3">Very best regards,</font></font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Arial"><font size="3">collect89</font></font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
