Even with the camera rig I made, it still takes 20-30 pics to get the lighting right. Then I can only see it after I upload and view them on the larger screen.

I read that to sell a coin, use a pic, but to study details, use a scan ? Honestly, without purchasing some very expensive equipment, I don't know what else to do ? I am sure that I am better equipped than many. The photography is an art that many of us just cannot seem to master. Especially when very tiny details need to be shown with clarity. The Duke said it pretty well. But it must be truly frustrating when you have such a great love and knowledge and cannot help the person making the query because of the lousy pics. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your patience. gary[/QUOTE]
