Erfurt 1918

+1 on the phone pics. I lost mine earlier this month, and its replacement has a 13 megapixel camera--almost three times the detail can be captured with this compared to my old Canon G5 (5.0 mpx)! Set your phone camera to the close-up setting, make sure the white balance is for the lighting used, and steady the shot by either holding it firmly against something firm, or prop the camera and use the timer to click the shutter to eliminate operator jiggle. Most shots are ruined by either camera motion or improper focus. Get in as close as you can, still in focus, and use the zoom if you need to get tighter. Natural light is good, but make sure it's diffuse--overcast, or in the shade. We await the results of this enterprise! ...And welcome to the forum.
