<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2371714, member: 1892"]This is possibly my all-time favorite image set. It was shot back in March 2007, and I had just acquired my first high-quality imaging setup - an 8MP Canon Rebel XT (350D) and 100mm Macro lens. These were the third and fourth images shot with the camera on the first day I set it up, and the <b>very first</b> with the 100mm Macro. When I viewed them in full resolution on my screen for the first time, they <b>completely</b> astounded me. I'd already done enough with point-and-shoots to realize you could create really nice images of coins - I was pretty good at that already - but this was in a completely different league from anything I'd ever done. It's a testament to the inherent quality of the 100mm Macro lens - I really had no clue what I was doing at this point, everything was set on Auto - and this is what it gave right out of the box. It could be said that this coin started me on the road of photography being as integral a part of my numismatic experience as the coins themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kinda pretty coin, too. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]485037[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]485042[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Kinda pretty coin, too. :) [ATTACH=full]485037[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]485042[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
