Testing New Camera

Important tip for you that took me a bit to realize - get yourself a mini level...make sure that the camera matches the surface that the coin is sitting on, both vertically and horizontally. Might help!

Yeah - that is the depth of field problem and it can be largely solved with greater light. With low light, the lens opens up and the shutter speed slows, causing a tightening of depth of field. As a result, the camera actually focuses on one side of the coin and the other side of the coin can be slightly out of focus. With the point and click there was no such problem as I moved so close to the coin that I was only about 10mm from coin.

 

The canary? Yes.

 

Super. I have two parakeets. Often annoying as heck, but I have to love 'em.

 

Here's mine. The blue one is S.O.B. Pronounced Sob, but it's an acronym for a reason.
The green one is Jade. She's a nice one.

 

Are the African Gray's endangered?

All parrots are. Mine is domestic bread.

 

How does this coin look (photo-wise)? Also, can you guess the grade?

 

good picture. I'd give it an MS65 with a quick look see and without the reverse.

 

And they're tasty too.....

 

That reminds me of a joke but i can't tell it now... no time.

 

You are correct! MS 65.

 

yeah - I'm OK with Morgans. i guarantee nothing else, and I'm only Ok.

 

Note the corroded surface like it came off a ship wreck.

 

Note that the surface defects don't mean you want them less. If you put it in tupperware, it should heal.

 

OK - I think this is much better
