Just figured I'd post these to get some practice with the camera. Right now I'm having issues with the focus because I don't have a tripod, although Dan may be fixing that for me as soon as I paypal him some cash!

    Todd,
    Those are pretty cool photos.I've never seen that 10 Kreuzer bullion piece before.

    Did you get a FREE photo editor downloaded off here?

    Todd,
    I can't afford Photoshop.As for The Gimp,I don't know what that is.

    I see that you've joined up here.

    Out of those 3 that you've got,I have got the Canadian 1972 silver Voyageur $1,which I bought off my boss at scrap value.Talk about a bargain.The same thing went for the 1971 Province of British Columbia Centenary silver $1 that I bought off him as well.

    Todd,
    Photoscape is also a FREE photo editor as well.I can use that to combine 2 original photos into 1 new picture.You should download that as well,& try it for yourself.

    If you are looking for a FREE numismatic inventory program,then you can download it off here.Yes,you can upload your own photos,& you can use the same program for both your banknote & coin inventories at the same time.
