Wow, that sounds good.
Is that too late in the year for the trees, i.e., would they already have turned color and dropped their leaves?
I'd bring the wife along for that (but not the class).
Actually she might want to come along anyway.

 

I'm wondering if they will teach anything that is not in Mark Goodman's coin photography book?

 

Hell, I'm still trying to decide on a new camera for coin photos.

Me too....:smile

How much are you willing to spend?

 

I'm thinking $200-$300. I've asked around and came up with these suggestions:
Nikon L100.
Canon Powershot SX 110 IS and A 570 IS
GE A1230 (untested)

When I see a good photo on ebay I'll ask the owner what their using. Most will answer something more expensive than my range. Like a D70 (forgot the make).

The GE is from a friend who says it'll do most everything but he's not a coin photographer. I'll ask him to take some close up shots and email them to me.

I didn't mean to lead this thread in another direction.
