[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3131022, member: 93702"]I messed up my previous post sorry.... Justin Lee was asking about the background on my photo...... what you are seeing in the background here: [ATTACH=full]798563[/ATTACH] is the base from my digital camera - which is really just a webcam. Just plugs into the USB, can zoom in and out, has a light, etc: [ATTACH=full]798564[/ATTACH] They are only about $40 on Amazon. Are they any good? Well they are handy - really quick digital image.. comes with software to enhance the image, etc. I have a large 23" computer monitor so I can see really good detail on screen. Drawbacks? Well the light is coming directly down - so that works great for some LRBs but you get reflection from silver. I turn the light off and use other light sources for those. But you can get some OK results: [ATTACH=full]798565[/ATTACH] I think it's a good, quick, cheap set up. But you would not get the detailed results or resolution that I see from some of the contributors on here with professional (more expensive or maybe just smarter?) setups I suppose. I know less about photography than ancient coins... As for the blue? Why that is a Tupperware lid of course!![/QUOTE]
