[QUOTE="Todd Williams, post: 5172710, member: 115645"]So, that is exactly what I'd like to do, with ya'lls help. I want to get a good picture of each coin but I'm clueless about coin photography even after watching YouTube videos. I've got a DSLR, Tripod, 55mm lens, 250mm lens, external flash with hot foot cable, no macros. And it's all greek to me. Happy to buy stuff as needed for the project. I watched Photographer Bill Larson's simple set up on YouTube and couldn't get my gear to work. I think I just need help from someone who knows the gear and lighting. If anyone here would be willing to help me get started (Zoom video conference, phone, etc.) then I'll post each coin from the book with attribution to whoever is willing to partner with me. I had a great phone call with Randy Abercrombie today (here on CT) who was kind enough to take the time as my first official mentor in coin collecting. Randy is checking with his network, but I'd also offer it up here. I'm not looking to mooch beyond what anyone would find appropriate. Just hoping for some crowdsourcing help. So, if anyone is willing to meet with me and get me started getting this book photographed properly, there's a bottle of whiskey in it, shipped to you anywhere in the United States, along with the joint experience.[/QUOTE]
