After killing the batteries in my camera by shooting many, many images, this is the best I can come up with. I need to go put me head through a wall.

    I have had trouble with the tripod. These were taken freehand. I'll give the tripod another try once my blood pressure goes down.

    I don't have a very steady hand either, as some of my photos show.

    "head through a wall"? Some OPP guys I know could help you with that.....image


    Seriously, are you shooting in an autofocus mode or manually focusing? Which camera?
  • IlikeZARcoinsIlikeZARcoins Posts: 901
    I guess it's best to Auto focus is it.....

    I am having similar problems but my photos are way worse.

    Am using a Minolta Dimage G400 Digital Camera.....any tips ?

    I'm using a Canon A70 PowerShot in the Portrait mode. It auto focuses. I wouldn't know how to manually focus the damn thing.

    edited for typo before LM sees it.

    I don't have much problem with a single coin, especially if it is circulated.

    O/T What number do I enter for the PCGS number in the Population report.

    I am looking for the population report for a 1897 ZAR Pond.

    The only number I have here is the barcode but that doesn't work. 8-(

    Will wake the Mrs up in a bit to try and work the camera.
  • IlikeZARcoinsIlikeZARcoins Posts: 901
