<p>[QUOTE="SSG_Gonzo, post: 4949472, member: 31791"]In my time as a member here I have seen some amazing photographs of coins in peoples collections. I was first captured by PCGS Tru Views and the way they were able to get the images of coins in all their glory. I was soon exposed to more amazing images by members in this forum such as [USER=19094]@robec[/USER], [USER=29751]@brg5658[/USER] [USER=87404]@Justin Lee[/USER] [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER] and so many more that it would take a few post just to list the amazing work of members here. I remember taking time with Robec and him walking me through the process of imaging my coins. I never quite got the hang of it as I worked with the tools I had and they were not the best for the images I wanted to capture. Eventually life happened and I had to put my collecting and personal aspirations of being Robecs apprentice and had to go away for a while. I returned and I came back with a nifty new find that made some of my imaging a whole lot better.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my birthday my wife purchased a macro lens for my iPhone, now before we start off in this topic regarding which phone is better and what lenses are better from amazon and so on, I use the iPhone because it is a tool in my hand, as for lenses well I have tried many from Amazon and Ebay and other locations and they just plane sucked lol. Anyways on with my story, my wife purchased this Macro lens from an online store called Moment and let me tell you... I was so concerned in telling my wife that the lease would never capture what I wanted, but boy was I in for a surprise. Now I am not much for advertising for companies and well I don't get paid for it so I won't say much about the lease but I have to say it has done amazing things for me. I still have much to learn and much to apply with regards of my imaging but I wanted to present some of what I have done and I am also hoping for feedback. Good, Bad or ugly I will be great full for any feedback received. Thanks for your time and have an amazing day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
