Neighbor’s 1914 Erfurt

Hi Croc9,
Shame you weren't able to buy it from your neighbor. From the quality of your pictures it looks like a beautiful collectable.
Speaking of pictures, and if you don't mind sharing your method, I and possibly others on this forum would like to know how you achieved such great clear shots with little or no shadowing.

I stumbled on to the process because I could not understand directions from others and I am not really smart on computers. This was all done with my Ipad, but can probably be done with others.

I take pictures with my Ipad to include zooming in. They automatically go into "Photos". After composing a post, scroll down below the box with the message. You will see a choice marked "manage attachments". Click on it. When you click on a "browse" button, it will ask for the location of the picture. My choice is "library" which will bring up pictures from my "photos". Select one and it will automatically be moved. Repeat the browse process until you have completed all you want. Then click on the "upload" button and WAIT until it completes the upload process. It will return you to your post with the pictures attached ready to submit. Simple!

It's actually easier than it sounds. Try it. The secret is to locate the "manage attachments". Any problems-PM me and I'll give my phone number. Steve

I take the pictures on my workbench under a fluorescent 4 foot 4 bulb work light. The light is 2 feet above the bench. The room has no windows. (sorry I missed the point of your message)

Your pictures came out great so I was wondering how you did them. Thanks for the explanation! I've tried various methods but they never come out as good as yours. I'll try your method next.

The proof stamps include a Revisions Commission stamp. The FAQ and several threads here can fill you in on what that means.
