<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Black Friar, post: 3991287, member: 76221&quot;]Call this posting a numismatic brain fart from one collector to another. </p><p><br /></p><p>I must say that I have been following the Ancients forum for a bit.&nbsp; Several things I have noticed.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>First</b>, all of you love to share insights, as well as help new members. <b>Secondly,</b> and just as important, the quality of photography has exploded.&nbsp; Members are always asking how to improve their skills, the support you have shown is quite admirable.&nbsp; We learn from each other. Coin photography is a learned skill and for me a passion. Keep on working at it.&nbsp; Some advice; play with the light, and always fill your frame. </p><p><br /></p><p>Cell phone photography is such that it enables more people to share and learn about the beauty and history of ancients. If you ever have a chance to go to the ANA&#039;s Summer Seminar when they offer the coin photography class, do it.&nbsp; No matter how long you have been shooting coins I guarantee you will learn more and your photography will be kicked up a notch or two.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Third, </b>Numismatics really is a solitary hobby.&nbsp; We get some free time and want to spend it looking at our collections no matter how many times we have viewed the same coins. We only get together if we are in a club and attend monthly meetings, or go to a local, regional or national show.&nbsp; All are numismatic nerd heaven. </p><p><br /></p><p>And now I close, I have to work on another one of my historical past times.&nbsp; Building a new model.&nbsp; An 1/72 scale A-10 Worthog.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers to all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Black Friar</p><p>&quot;This is my hobby, I do it for fun.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
