I think it says your town, ISA Town.

 

But only one Cannon .... eh

 

I am gonna buy a new camera for coin pics and please what type camera is it? I need cheap too.

 

Very nice improvement, Ruben. I have two pieces of advice after reviewing your latest photograph:

1) Increase the contrast, and
2) "Raise" the light (i.e. move it closer to the lens/camera so the light hits closer to a right angle to the coin)

Hope this helps...Mike

 

Two photographers are in the men’s room at the urinal. One guy is a Canonian and the other a Nikonian.
The Nikon guy finishes his business first. He simply zips his fly and heads for the door.
As he was leaving, the Canon guy turns his head towards him and says “Excuse me, Canon photographers wash our hands when we are finished urinating”.
The Nikon guy says ” I understand, but us Nikon guys don’t pee on our hands”

 

What did Cinderalla say when she left the photo store?
Someday my prints will come.

 

How do you get the professional photographer off your front porch?
Pay him for the pizza.

 

A photographer for a national magazine was assigned to take pictures of a great forest fire. He was advised that a small plane would be waiting to fly him over the fire.
The photographer arrived at the airstrip just an hour before sundown. Sure enough, a small Cessna airplane was waiting. He jumped in with his equipment and shouted, “Let’s go!” The tense man sitting in the pilot’s seat swung the plane into the wind and soon they were in the air, though flying erratically.

“Fly over the north side of the fire, ” said the photographer, “and make several low-level passes.”

“Why?” asked the nervous pilot.

“Because I’m going to take pictures!” yelled the photographer. “I’m a photographer, and photographers take pictures!”

The pilot replied, “You mean you’re not the flight instructor?”

 

If nothing else, you have to say that President Clinton -- it was fun... I mean, every day he's in another jam, and not a fender bender, either -- the kind of stuff that James Bond can't get out of... Caught on camera lying. Lying! On camera! How does he get out of it? He debates the meaning of the word 'is.' That's classy. You know, even James Bond would be like, 'Wow. Full marks, lad. Normally, I have to use a jet pack.'

 

OK This might be the best one

 

??

 

step one - get a light.

 

I'm just looking for a name of a camera coz I need a camera for all the cool coins I have. My coins deserve better equipment.

 

Contrast is key and even better it is also free.

Do you have a lamp? Go get a Reveal 40w incandescent bulb for $3. Don't forget to remove lampshade when you take the photos, because....

You want a point source, not a diffused source (particularly for lustrous coins), if that makes sense.

Also, figure out how to do a custom white balance on your Canon. Auto white balance is for amateurs. :devil:

Hope this helps...Mike

 

I am no photographer, but with the camera being new the your pics are okay. But they seem to lack sharpness. and as for the egret
I bet it sings just like a canary. And that is a California Condor in my avatar. zeke

 

Hello

You guys have entirely lost me.

Is this not an egret?



I thought it was a Japanese crane.

 

I think it's a coin.

 

Step Two - plug in light.
