I've only ever used simple point and shoot digital cameras, so I'm very much an amateur when it comes to photography.

This shot was taken with my new "Micro Four Thirds" camera, a Panasonic LUMIX GF2. I was messing around with different settings, and this was the best of the bunch. It was a 60 second exposure, in a dark room, with a flashlight reflecting off the white ceiling. Wish I could be more specific and technical, but I'm a n00b :)

the properties of the picture itself should tell you the details about exposure, shutter speed, iso, aperture, etc.
Nice camera by the way. I own a micro 4/3 camera myself. saving up for a macro lens at the moment.... looks like that will take a while to do though

Nice one :) If memory serves me, you use some type of USB microscope for your coin pics?

This one was taken with a old HP digital camera. I also use a Canon 5600F scanner sometimes.

Great picture, viewing the coin that way makes it looks so much nicer than in hand. I'll have to be a bit more ingenious to be able to get my photos that beautiful.

Seriously great work!
