Photo Contest! ALL Welcome to try it out.

[Bruceswar]

This idea came from the PCGS boards. Here is how it works. I will choose one coin from my collection. and then US, forumites will pass it around and everybody who wants to will have a chance to photo the coin. All the images will be sent to me and once everybody has photoed the coin, I will post all the images with numbers and have people vote on the best one. Photo the coin as you see it. You may bring out any aspects of the coin you like. Good luck to all who join.

To Join either PM me or make a post saying I want to try it. Don't worry if you think your photos may not be that good. I got a tough coin to photograph. Just once you photo the coin pass it to the next person. Should be fun. You will not know what the coin looks like till you get it in hand or what it is. I will say the coin is slabbed and will be ready for the first person to recieve it. Just please try not to take over 3 days to photo the coin. Thanks and good luck. Image Sizes 800x400 or 1000x500. Combined if at all possible.

 

Send images either by PM or via my Email which can be obtained by PM'img me.

Great idea and fun. What size do you want back (e.g. obv & rev side-by-side 800 X 400 or just any size to fit on 1024 X 768 screen)? Or will you just size them from raw photo's that you get?

[Bruceswar]

800x400 will work or 1000x500. Whichever suits you best. Also please combine your images if at all possible. If not send both and I will do it for you.

[chinook]

Great. Hopefully it will not take 6 months to complete.

[Bruceswar]

Dave I was thinking the same thing.

[James_OldeTowne]

That is a COOL idea. Count me in!

 

Additional suggestion: you have to create a thumbnail, also, with a size of 96x96 to 128x128.

Only toned coins can make one assault the walls with his head...

Actually, imaging really low-grade copper, say in Fair, through NGC plastic is the worst for me.

James I have found a coin that will make everybody a bit hacked, new guys and the guys with lots of expierence. The monkey wrench as always is the slab. Tomorrow I send it out to the first person on the list, and he will send it to the next person, and so on. More can join once I send it out, but I want to get the ball rolling.

[midwest]

I wouldn't mind giving it a shot.

[Larry Dreher]

I'd like to take a stab at it. Please put me on the list. I have no illusions that my pictures will be in the top tier, I'd just like to see how far off they will be.

[Bruceswar]

Larry your in!

[MunkyMan95]

I would like to try but my photography is horrible! Maybe by the time it gets around to me, I will have a better camera.

[Bruceswar]

Your in Chad.

Anybody else want in?

Anybody else want in?

 

I may but I'm off to Winnemucca, Nv in early June. I'm bringing my computer and camera with me too. So, maybe once the coin circulates about then I'll be settled by then.

While I will not be able to participate in the contest, I do look forward to seeing the results that arise . Perhaps the "winners" can share some of the tips for the rest of us.

[Bruceswar]

I think it will be really neat to see some of the results with this coin. This one is a tough one. Good luck to all who try.

[MikeInFL]

Can I play?
