It's a good escape for a bit for me, setting up the camera, making sure all the settings are correct, adjusting the lights and watching the timer tick down. Then looking at the image to be sure it's want i want, then opening it in photo editing software for the final presentation. Still shooting with a d5100, purchased from a pawn shop and a AF MICRO NIKKOR 105mm 1:2.8 D lens bought off Ebay years ago. Couldn't swing the 4 piece gold so I have to settle on the 1/2 ouncer, which will compliment the 1/2 oz. Type 1 proof. Grateful for my health, a good job, great benefits, wonderful woman and the good people here.

Very nice-coins and photos both!
Just realized that the devices on the reverse of the ASE are whiter than the obverse. Just looked at the ASE under 5x glass, the reverse is definitely whiter, or is it more white?
Super pics!! 😎
Those shots came out spectacular!
Great post too! Seems like you don’t take anything for granted. That’s a great path to living a life of fulfillment!
Wow! The pictures are flawless! Very beautiful!

can really see the etching pattern on them still.
I'm missing the old method.
I vote whiter.
I imaged mine yesterday.
3 Proof ASEs:
Gold ASE set:
Both are now off to their new owners. I may buy a proof ASE in a few years when I can make sure it doesn't have milk spots.

Nice work!
@morgansforever.... Outstanding pictures.... Really, really nice. I cannot tell if one is more white than the other - that would have to be an in hand evaluation. Either way, it is a beautiful coin... and I am happy I got one as well. Your pictures are better than anything I can provide. I looked carefully at mine - with and without magnification - and I believe it is a 70. I just pulled mine out and looked at both sides.... and I would say yes, the reverse DOES appear a tad 'whiter'. It may be a function of how the light hits the very different surfaces of the devices.
