<p>[QUOTE="Mac McDonald, post: 7978592, member: 117420"]You bring up a good point, and one that me thinks is just an oversight with many folks: they simply forget to review their photos before downloading (or is it uploading?<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie101" alt=":woot:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) and posting. Seriously, hard to imagine posting a photo like your example, here...no one would post such with any legitimate thought of it being of any benefit to anyone, unless they just weren't paying attention. With digital photography, there's no excuse for not reviewing the photo between the taking and the posting, and if not adequately lit/clear/focused/sized or framed proportionally, etc, take it over (and maybe over again) to improve it and repeat the review process. If I can learn to take decent-to-good coin photos at my age...never having taken one in my life before and using an instrument of a borrowed smartphone and such that I don't even have/use...anyone can take them if they just remember a few basics that aren't even coin-specific. I just think too many are in too much of a hurry and go from taking to posting without thinking. I do think this scenario changes for some who are selling and trying to hide/conceal/cover-over something in their photos, but that's another thing altogether.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
