Debby Bought Me A New Camera~
 

For an early Valentine~ Much Higher Resolution~

Nice camera and the pics look great.

TKS She discovered Amazon and nothing has been the same! Lugers are works of art and have to be shared and properly be displayed to truly appreciate their own individual perfect beauty~

Looks like a winner, Eric.

Funny about cameras - I was gifted a set of extra lenses for my iPhone 7 at a Christmas party, including a macro lens that clips over the existing lens. It helps with close-up shots and I was pretty excited about how it would make my phone more useful, but I still find that my 2006 vintage Sony point and shoot 6 MP digital camera with a macro setting takes better close-ups. I recall paying about $200 for the camera, I believe. Maybe a little more.

I still use the phone most of the time due to convenience, but if I really need the best available clarity and detail the 11-year old Sony still works best.

Like a marrige, if it work, why replace it. They have come way down in price> Cannon PowerShots are small light and takes great close ups~https://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerSh...wershot+camera You can buy them used with a warrenty for $109!Its great for photograph you belongings in case of a theft or disaster~

Great pictures. You are blessed, Debby is very special, plus she buys you cameras.
Lucky, lucky guy.
Take care my friend.

Eric,
good start!

Now find a plain background, please. ;)

Good lighting in those pictures, but you have the same pesky shadows we have up there too! :)

Dick TKS Debby was my third wife and last I'm sure! Thank You for your continued kindness throughout the many years!

Eric, very good pictures. You'll like the Nikon Coolpix. They are quite well made and supported by the manufacturer.

But... how do you take a picture of the new camera itself?

On cloth backgrounds, this is a useful article:

You are right
 

This was taken in indirect light/cloud! Thank for pointing that out! I tried your method and a grey textured background doe best! Enlarge it and all the detail are striking~

Congrads, I didn't think anyone would notice~ ! took the card out of the new camera, put it into my old and took the shot of my new camera and then replaced it in the new and download them all~ Tricks of the trade!!!! Goodnight from Beautiful Florida My Heros~

Nice, sharp pics. Me like. :thumbup:

Best of all, the barrels are actually straight!

Good Point!! If they weren't I blame them on Nikon!!

Following suggestions of our friends, Indirect lighting and neutral grey course textured background. I can finally capture proofs and serial numbers without laquer stick! Here are the results! What do you think? Eric
