My First Coin Photo

Well, I went the expensive route and instead of buying a $100 computer microscope, I bought a $225 macro lens for my Canon 10D. I did this because my other hobby is photography. I unpacked the lens, and 5 minutes later had this phot of a 2007 ASE.

the 2007 ASE is a nearly perfect coin, and easy to photograph. Nice work.

very nice!

 

Thanks

Thanks folks. Codydude inspired me. I'm experimenting with various methods on other coins right now. I'll post a few good ones if I get them. I started a Barber Dime collection a few months back. I don't have anything earthshaking in it and I really can't afford to go the MS route with those, but if I get some good shots, I'll post them.

 

Very nice detail! You got your monies worth on that lens.
