@GoldFinger1969Dude you are way above my head when you talk about how pixels work and this x that. Some stuff just doesn't click for me. I think probably I make things more complicated than they really are. That said, I think that your actual shot is the most important thing when it comes to how much you can do with it after the mess is taken. You have to have a great shot before you can alter it and make it better. Idk how to say what is in my head. Smh. Ok, maybe this... If yiu take your best possible shot, it could only get 10x better with all your tools you're using. However, I have never had any of that fancy high tech stuff and I've rarely seen a photo of a Coin that is better than any one of mine doing it how I described above. It doesn't have to be difficult and involved. See? And a lot if the time I see people's photos taken via a microscope and they are 360° with all the distortion and getting in so close that idek what part of the Coin I'm looking at. Last tidbit, never get closer to a Coin until you've pulled back from it first. Probably none of that makes sense. Ooops. 

WooHoo! I had finally gotten my new Pixel 6Pro and the camera SUCKED!!! Then I broke it and was back on that garbage Motorola. Then I managed to somehow afford a Pixel 6a and with the new update it said the macro was added to only 6 and 6 Pro, so I was bummed again. Well, I went to use it today and the update DID effect the macro on the 6a. Here are my best and closest shots with it. I did not double tap before or crop after taking the shots. Isn't it great. I love it and am so happy. See you guys next time... 
Indeed. We are so very proud of her. 2 more years of HS and then off to Medical School, I suppose. I'm trying to a radiologist for her to shadow for a few days this summer so she can see what it's really about. 
 
Yes it is. But I really have no problem with Google. They make a great phone that I like. Their search results leave much to be desired, but I tried all those others mentioned and at the end of the day they are offering up Google results so I'll just skip the middle man.

IBP is a super curriculum! Congrats to her!

Pixel uses Android which is a Google software/OS product.

Which is why I’ll never consider it. I don’t even use Google to search anything. Duck Duck Go. Everything I own runs a Unix variant. No Windows, no Google. 

This popped up in my FB Memories for this day 2yrs ago and I felt like it could possibly cheer somebody up. Or maybe even make you smile and laugh. Cause y'all know how I live to make others happy!!!
Here is the Copy and Paste... 
I'll tell y'all what, if studying all these Coins has gotten me nothing else, they've put me into contact with some of the most intelligent human beings that I've ever had the honor to chat with, over on NGC's Chat Forums. There's nothing those old Kats don't know something about. Not just Coins either. We discuss all kinds of different topics and every time I click away from the site I feel like I'm smarter. Seriously. I been chatting there since the 1st day I looked up my first Coin and they never cease to amaze me. Just thought I'd share. G'night!

Oh I'm not going anywhere. I just have so much going on since I became just me again that I find it hard to have time for the things I truly love. Like this Forum and the people in it. Maybe ine day when things aren't so hectic the time will come back. 
 
Indeed you are correct. But it's the guys right here in this one Forum that I learned the most from. Both Numismatically and generally. I just hope they know the way they influence others every single day.

Don't forget we have some accomplished authors and numismatists here.   They've written books and also articles over the years.  
I learned so much from my Saints DE Thread from all the contributors including author RWB.  Finished the book 3 years ago at this time and my knowledge of Saints has gone up tremendously since.

Hi Guys! I'm back with a new Phone!!!!! Yay me and ebay Refurbished!
I went and looked to see when was the last time @Mr.Bill347 had made a comment do I wouldn't feel like we had all hijacked his post. He replied to me like 5 comments ago do I guess we're good gor one more day here. @Mr.Bill347! Have you gained any knowledge with regard to photographing your Notes here? I sure hope so. Seems we all have different ideas and ways of doing it, so maybe if you took a scrap of each you'd be the best photographer of us all. 
So anywhooo... Remember that I broke my Google Pixel 3a and then was stuck with a MoTo g Sux, right? Well, I now am a proud owner of a Google Pixel 6 Pro.Yayayayyaya!!!  Yep, sho nuff am. The Camera App is very weird and at first I thought it was going yo be my new "Google Pixel Dang They Let Me Down 6 Amateur", but I kind of have it figured out some. I still a lot of work to do with learning how it is, 60 Mega pixel one 1 of its lenses!  But today I figured out that if I slide the slider real slow it doesn't go out on me anf I can't use my macro at all. Anyway, here ares the 1st of my Coin  photos that I am almost happy with. Also including one of my absolutely beautiful Grand Daughter Tylee who just celebrated her Sweet Sixteen this week. She has been invited into the International Baccalaureate Program next year. I am very proud. Absolutely no idea how she got so smart. She doesn't even have to try. It's crazy. But can't pass her Driver's Written Test! Go figure. Smh. Anyway, I'll stop bragging in her.
