Raw. And I am calling it MS64RD. Agree?
nice pic.........
You'll get no argument from me. Great picture1
Back to topic: Those are stellar pictures. Some of the best I've seen in quite some time. The way you got the VDB to raise off the coin was really well done and the best VDB shot I've seen ever!
What I see there is a picture of a cent

Those bulbs are compact flourescent. I could lay them all on hay or flammable cotton all night long and they wouldnt get hot enough to start a fire.
And yes.....I know its a cent. But, I just wanted to say "penny" to sound more aw-shucks-ish!

I see you finally found a use for a VHS tape.
Really nice pic.

<< <i>Here is my latests penny shot. My photography is still a work in progress, but it's getting better.
Nice shot. Looks like you have a good lens. I think maybe your white balance is a little off and your exposure slightly too long (see the white spots in the coin from the reflection?).
It is a lot of trial and error and running back and forth to your computer with your memory card before you can feel like you have the shot you want. Took me about 30 pics to get the one in this thread just right.
<< <i>That's the part I always struggle with. How to capture the luster without getting harsh reflections. I am using a Nikon Coolpix 5700 with 2 75W incandecent bulbs. I believe the camera has 3 white balance settings. Auto, Incandecent and Flourecent. Is there away to manually adjust white balance? >>
I am not familiar with your camera. Mine lets me shoot a white card using the lighting I am using and then automatically sets my white balance based on the data it obtains from that shot. Your lighting it fine, you can just shorten your exposure to make those go away. Or you can reduce your light and make the exposure longer.
