Registry stupid question

[EZ_E]

I have a digital camera on the way. I will eventual enter my type set in the NGC registry.

 

Question about my raw, ungraded coins:

 

Can I still post a photo of the coin in the appropriate slot even though it has never been graded?

 

Probably not but just curious...

no

Gracias. Just thought that it would be a convenient way to document my set.

Well,if you were to take pictures of everything and send me the urls,I could send you back the html for a gallery that you could post on your own freewebs site or something like that.

Thanks for the offer, kind sir! I may just take you up on that. Thank you.

I'm new to this and have a question about taking photos for the registry

I have a Sony Cyber Shot 2 megapixels

I also have a National Optical 30x Sterioscopic Microscope

Would I be better off buying attachment for the microscope to mount the camera or buying a camera dome?

No idea to your question but this was my solution based upon Lucille's post:

I use a Canon PowerShot Pro. This Camera is a excellent Point and shoot Camera for any photo shooting oppertunity.....

 

I shoot my images mostly during daylight hours. I prefer a bright naturaly sunlit room, aided by the normal houselights and up to 2 sylvannia daylight flood lamps.

 

I don't always use all the lights mentioned above, it depends on the coin I am shooting, as sometimes a little darkness helps you bring out certian characteristics of the coin.

 

The PowerShot Pro has many modes and many manual settings.... I really know nothing about them or photography in general, things like ISO settings, shutter speeds, stuff like that is all square talk to the HepKitty, as I am not with it in that regard.

 

However I do normally shoot in one of the many manual settings that allows me to turn on the Super Macro mode. I then zoom in to capture stunning detail. I also use a stable tripod to avoid the camera shakes resulting in fuzzy, blurry images.

 

The images come out huge and I also have to resize them and lessen their quality so the file sizes are manageable. All the images that you have seen from me look even better before I lesson their quality to make for a smaller file.

 

Cannon hit a homerun with this Camera that is easy used by the novice yet has many pro features. I will put my images up against any others with any Camera when in comes to capturing a coins luster, color and detail.

 

I love capturing the fine detail seen in the metal flow of the coins surface, as most images I see fail to do this. I can truely capture what a coin really looks like, with the PowerShot Pro, a amazing Camera..

Don't buy a camera dome,you can get the same results using a lampshade or a milk jug.
