I think DS has a coin photography droid...

Ummm, YOC ... why did you get booted out?


=> my ancient parole officer said that I am not allowed to hang-out with shady dudes!!

 

Then you might have to move a little further South Steve

 

AND, as your parole officer, I am watching you very closely!!!

 

Steve step away from the goat...

 

Doug, I havent had time to fully read the description of how that fantastic and ingenious set up works yet...........but I imagine when that gets up to 88mph, you can go back in time and get as many ancients as you like.....nice job Dr Emmett Brown!!
On a serious note, I can see how this would work. The only problem I can see for me is that when there is nothing touching the coin at the back, ie. its on blue card, the camera will not focus properly on it and the pictures become slightly blurry...I have tried mounting the coin on blu tack on a nail to eliminate the shadow from the coin and this happened. I'll read the method fully and see if there are camera settings which will help me. Thanks very much Doug.

 

Because metdet71 sent me abusive emails to my home email and I in turn complained to the UK police who dealt with him. I told the CCF mods/owners and they banned him.....and me!!!! idiots.
