Looking forward to the results of each photographer! I hope each will post their photos in this thread!

 

That would sorta ruin the competition aspect of this contest. When everyone has sent me their photographs, I will start a new thread and post all the pictures (with no names), and everyone can vote on which ones are the best.

Well, hopefully the names can be added AFTER the competition is over?! Some people have different tastes in photography and wouldn't mind hiring one based on the efforts in this thread alone...just sayin'.

I'd probably get it and want to spend hundreds if not thousands on new gear, not really because I need it all necessarily though. With all the auctions coming up, oh boy!!! lol

 

Hopefully there will be a next time. I really like the idea behind this thread, it's really great! :)

I received this beautiful coin in the mail today!

 

PL, MS, Color = GORGEOUS!

 

Since Broadstruck only needs it for a few minutes, can I keep it for a month......or two? ;)

I just finished with it and am sending it on to the next guy. Nice coin, not easy to image. I'm anxious to see what the other guys are able to do with it. The in-hand look of a toned PL coin varies a lot with lighting so I expect a range of "interpretations" of this coin...Ray

The list of photographers is really amazing, can't wait to see what they give us, I have learned so much from all of them - just study their images they post and see the skill......

 

Best, HT

The coin was pretty challenging. A PL half dime. Small, darkly colored, with surfaces difficult to depict. Reflective, reverse polish-lined, a little coarse when magnified, with toning spots, subtle scuffs and cameo-like devices.

 

Photographers will make choices. To paraphrase what Messydesk said in another thread...unlike previous contests, what we will see will be less a matter photographic talent (of which there is plenty) and more about interpretation.

 

I can't wait to see them. Sure seems to be taking a long time!

Lance.
