    Some are better than others.
    This is one of the better ones.
    Good job.

    Here is another...

    Half eagle "eagle head". You are seeing the pixels at the same resolution of the sensor, I have cropped much of the image.

    only when there's a need.. like a die break or a rupnched date or RPM or DD... or... I think you get the gist!

    What I would really like is a cool die crack coin, but the best I have is this...

    image

    This is a Canon EOS digital camera with a specialty macro lens, the 65mm 1X-5X lens. For these pictures, I believe it was set at 3X. It's on a camera stand with electronic flashes for illumination.

    Here is another image of a "no gold" coin that I posted recently:

    Very cool & fun to look at - this should be a regularly regurgitated thread, like the Post A Barber, or Seated threads.
  • mrearlygoldmrearlygold Posts: 17,858 ✭✭✭
    Wow!

    I need to find a way to do that. Or better, find a way to get my Wife to do that image

    Really excellent and I have to believe, useable for insurance purposes in some way.

    That's the lense with the built in bellows thingy? I was looking at that lense but it's like $700 and I couldn't justify spending that on a lense. Also, is that the MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite setup? I was looking at that as well, but it costs as much as the lense everywhere I looked. Nice setup but it was too expensive for my image

    I think it's in one of Marks blogs but he has a cheaper way of making one with used equipment off of e-bay. image

    I think the lense pictured is the Canon MP-E, it's a unique macro lense that goes from 1x to 5x. I've been sooo tempted to buy one but they're very expensive. But there are very few alternatives (bellow-wise) for a Canon SLR. Also, the reverse mounting doesn't work nearly as well with canon lenses because they are auto, or at least i think this is the case...

    You getting dizzy too?

    I was wondering if this picture belongs in the crusty gold thread or the close up photo thread. I chose this one.

    These are 10 second exposures where I held a compact fluorescent light and moved it around to simulate multiple light sources. I didn't white-balance it very carefully.

    Yes, when examining details. Not when attempting to grade... those are excellent. Cheers, RickO

    Two more. Actually one more. One of these images is a crop of the other. This is a rather high resolution image.
