<p>[QUOTE="lrbguy, post: 3073289, member: 88829"]Obviously I need to have somebody explain to me the facts of life in the world of short attention spans. I have consistently noticed that in any given thread, the number of likes per image posted decreases significantly after the first two pages. Those "likes" are indicators of readership, and I do correlate the decrease with a drop in readership. So unless I am able to post a pic within the first two pages of a thread, why bother? For example, I have a number of nice 5th century Roman bronzes, and started to make some photos. But the thread on late Romans (the Last Romans) is already showing signs of death. I can't seem to locate my material and make pics fast enough to catch the eyes of readers. This isn't the first time; that is usually what happens to me.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Which leads me to my question. No matter how diverse the subject matter, some of you are able to post pics within minutes of the beginning of a thread. How are you able to do this? Do you happen to already have a stock of original pics of your coins, or are you using seller pics, or are you just that fast with photo gear. Now I'll admit I only want to show good pics of whatever I post, and I am using a rather involved setup - not at all portable. And, truth be told, there quite a few so-so and substandard pics of coins among the early posters. But some of you are johnny-on-the-spot with some really nice images. Did you just happen to have that on file, or do you just happen to have the fastest shutter in the west?</p><p><br /></p><p>(Envious) inquiring minds want to know.
