Do you have any certain tricks you use to take pics?

Not sure if this is considered a trick, but I built this stand about 3-4 yrs ago. It lets me tilt and such to try to get decent angles of a coin should I need to try to show toning or highlight a certain area. I had made this to a Gif but it wouldn't let me add it so I just put in the series of pics. So anyone else have tricks or ideas that they consider their little helper?

That looks very cool, a tripod replacer!!! My trick is to take over 40 photos and look for the 1 that came out the best!

Sorry... was just thinking of the phrase 'tricks to take pics' and putting that together with my skills.... I have so far mastered the 'copy and paste' method... either when I can find a picture or have my wife take one.... oh well... it is winter, and maybe I can develop some photographic skills... @bsshog40...That is a unique device and I can see it would provide value in taking pictures. Cheers, RickO

marketing.

I think I still have to take over 40 pics and choose.

I guess I could have added the pic with a coin on it to give you an idea of the size.

Well I need a lot of help to try to get colors just half as much as you are able to capture them Bob!

That's the "secret" trick professional photographers use too!

Do you have any certain tricks you use to take pics?
