IT IS IMPERATIVE TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN USING ICLOUD:
A) Apple permits only a maximum of 1000 pictures to remain within the iCloud server cloud infrastructure at any one time and that addition/deletion of the photos operate by FIFO (First In, First Out) with the most recently added pictures being found at the end of a stream.
B) Apple will not remove the devices from their servers after 30 days but the same cannot be said about one's photos.
Apple corporate software automatically deletes any individual photos from their iCloud servers after 30 days so it is imperative that the user at a minimum immediately drags their transferred-photos to a more permanent location such as their computer's hard drive to prevent any undesirable auto-deletions.
C) Finally, if a user decides to deactivate a photo stream on one device, he/she also consequentially deletes all of the photos in that particular photo stream group.

On a side note it goes to say that if the user later reactivates the same photo stream within 30 days of the initial appearance of the photos, the server would still be able to download ALL of the photos on the server related to that affiliated group even after being temporarily turned off.
Finally, still applying the ever-present 30 day rule, however, one would not be able to see any photo that had reached the 30th day since its inception since one may have reactivated corresponding photo stream on or after the 30th day etc.
In summary, other comparable software similar to ‘Windows Live Photo Gallery' & 'Gimp' are capable of handling the same above procedures depending upon the various operating mechanisms and computer brands, so try to do your homework carefully before finally deciding upon your own ‘Method To The Madness'.

I just found and read this thread, and I have to say it has been very informative for those of us without expensive photography setups! Thanks for all the info.

Hi, I wanted to show you my results attempting to use the iPhone 4S for macro-photos: an obverse double die over-date & reverse steps both on a Jeff. nickel. In the past my USB camera typically handled these types of procedures but depending upon your reaction I may or may not make some modifications going forward. The setup used to produce the following shots from a 1943/2 DDO over-date Jefferson nickel was a bit unconventional. I do feel the color tone, for example, could have turned out a bit better but given the fact that the 4S shot this coin through the slab I decided not to spend any more time attempting to improve the results. Before the recent adjustments taking halfway decent closeup shots with the iPhone 4S proved to be very difficult. Anyhow, please review my results following this URL below: https://goccf.com/t/180240and let me know what you think. Thx |

I found a handy app called WiFi Photo Transfer that makes this as easy as it could be. All it does is set up a little webserver on your phone that specifically serves up your camera roll photos over your internal network. You just need to connect to the IP address it tells you to (with the appropriate port) and it serves up a frontend for you to access the photos. If you want to download multiples, it throws it into a ZIP file that you download at once.
Prior to that, I was uploading the photos to Dropbox, which is easily accessible to any computer I use.

The following CCF URL is one that I started that provides some limited info. about daylight vs. CFL bulbs involving difficult-to-photograph proof coins: https://goccf.com/t/176718In summary not one lighting setup will be appropriate for all photographic situations being that the reflectively, for example, can adversely alter the desired outcome. I would highly recommend performing a search on CCF inputting the word 'lighting' to review the multitude of previously-discussed topics surrounding this important subject. BOTTOM LINE: Lighting remains to be one of the most important components of the setup no matter how sophisticated the camera is. mdpmedia |

So I've been practicing a lot with iPhonography. I picked up the much-favored Jansjo lights for my setup and they've already made a stark improvement. However, I still need to perfect things like shooting distance. My goal is to make the process as fast as possible, while at the same time producing the best quality I can without much post processing. These photos were taken with only cropping/straightening and a little bit of post processing exposure.   This one, I found, came out a bit nicer, without the dramatic lighting of the 1924.   And this is what I've been able to produce with axial lighting. I haven't tried it with the Jansjo lights, this was produced with a side lamp from an old lightbox I tore apart and the glass from a dollar store frame I hold in my hand.  I'd very much like more input since this has all been done through random fumbling and exploration with speed being the key. |

Looking good Universalcoins!
I think you will see improved results if you diffuse the lighting a bit.

D.M. Thank-you for this thread.
I don't believe in 're-inventing the wheel' so I have just ordered my own Sanoto light box and my 18% gray card, (I already have the iPhone 4S and Tele/Wide/Macro lenses), and if my photos come out anywhere near the quality of your first few, I will be very happy.
I do have a 'professional' Kodak digital camera and lenses, but mastering IT is another story.
Thanks again.

I'm bumping this while I figure out how I'm going to arrange some "sticky" information sources for this Forum, which is definitely coming.
