Did you use manual setting on camera or any specific configuration on it? I notice your 2005 proof didn't have reflection of yourself or the camera. How to capture that? Picture of Morgan is nice capture.
Here's my second attempt. It's improvement on 1976 IKE Type 1, but I was able to do 1977-s toned exact as I see it. I was able to success by using exposure setting. It helped.
Thank you for point out on marco setting. I was using manual setting. Marco setting is very simple process than manual setting, but I do really need a tripod as it still not a sharp picture, yet.
Good light is important as well. You want to open the ISO setting to go as low as possible for more detail.
