STEVE MOULDING Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 :i have a few nice russions on omnicoin now, have a look collection Hi Scott...took a look at your collection. It's nice but many of the pictures are terribly out of focus. Does your camera have a 'Macro' mode (little flower symbol)?Use that and you should get a nice sharp image (assuming it's well lit). Also I'd recommend cropping the image in a simple photo editor so you lose all that wasted space. With a couple of minutes of work on each coin you can have much nicer images. Here's an example of something I took recently: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=110375268826 With kind regards, Steve Moulding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottO Posted April 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 yea it does have that mode, camera does sometimes struggle with stuff, never noticed the focus till i opened them properly, so those are just temporery pictures, i like the rust, never seen a coin of that metal look that though, looks nice with that colouring though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
