<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1496576, member: 19065&quot;]Tbud, The advice I gave you about photography in banks is valid and sound. It doesn&#039;t matter how long you&#039;ve known your teller, many banks have policies about photography in banks. You&#039;ll be better off to simply keep the idea in mind that many banks have &#039;no photography&#039; rules in place for good reasons. I put it out there to remind, not just you, but others reading this thread as well, that using a photographic device in a bank can draw some unwanted attention. The same delicate souls who are likely to be embarrassed for being admonished in a bank by a security guard for taking photos are just as likely to run to a public forum afterwards and beg for sympathy and condolences while missing the point of the warning they got for their actions. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know you&#039;re amongst the contingent of folks in these forums who meets constructive criticism with resistance and that some of these ideas are a challenge for you to accept but as I said, the advice is not just directed at you... <i>however,</i> <u>you</u> still need a scanner as your pics will improve for sharing them on a forum where there are collectors reading posts about the topics appearing here. iPhone pics may look okay on a low resolution hand held device, as may their full resolution image files look better on your desktop computer before the file size is auto-rescaled, and image resolution lowered when uploaded through the forum. Photobucket has less file size reduction than CT does, so the image may appear better, though, as I said, the way you&#039;ve cropped images and the slight camera&nbsp; shake, as well as not showing notes full face/back (which is something other collectors like to see, and use when considering grades) is lacking for want of what you perceived to be better pictures, particularly of these harshly circulated notes. If your playing catch and release your not really a collector and these notes are not really yours. You may as well also be visiting coin shops or coin shows and trying to take some pictures of other peoples collections that are notable for condition, grades, the SNs you like and so on. When you put something up on the forum, its not just for this or that &quot;half&quot; of the readers. You are bound to get all sorts of unsolicited comments and thoughts on what you offer for others to read and view. That is something you have to contend with and decide if you can handle discussing prior to posting. Your images have improved for hosting them on another site but there is more that can be done, hence the reiteration of the scanner suggestion you&#039;ve been given before and here again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
