Update: link now working: http://www.digitalrailroad.net/ctfr...gid=10337595 OK, so I have decided to combine my hobby (error coins) with my profession of photography. I don't know if there is a need, but there will soon be a supply of super high resolution photographs of major us mint error coins available to publishers who might have a need for such photos or run into a deadline where they could get instant fulfillment for magazine cover or poster quality images. I will soon post a link to the photos. Any thoughts on the subject? The images were photographed with a 16.7 megapixel camera, all are property released, and the downloadable file sizes will be between 50 and 65 megabytes. A lot of work. Super high quality images of some very unique us mint error coins. errrrrrror PS Any publishers out there or writers who need photographs for a story, you soon will have a high end source.

Thanks guys.
Right now My photos show both the obverse and reverse in one shot.
Backgrounds are important to some and not at all to others if the coin will be seperated from the background. I was thinking of going with pure white on all of them but have not so far. The shades of grey with shadows are working for me so far.
Shooting through plasteeeeeeek is a pain in the but. I don't really want to crack out all my certified errors so plasteeeeeeek it is.
I'm still not ready to post the link. soon.

Error, have you set up your gallery here yet?  You could upload all your images and categorize them nicely. It's real easy. You can upload big one there too. |

But I have shot no film for over a year and a half.

Errrror,
Your site and photos are pretty kick a$$. That lupine at Mt Whitney is great, I pulled a few shots about 3 clicks east from that very spot a few years ago while in Death Valley for the "blooming."
Stellar pics!

Benji, thanks, are you from the west? The Eastern Sierra is my favorite place.
This is a brand new website/service that I signed up for. I built this website in about one week.
All of the images are for sale as stock photgraphy.
I can make money while I sleep.

Nope, Midwest but, I frequently visit the Sierras and Death Valley are great places if you are in to geology etc. You can find every geological phenomenon that exist world wide in one amazing area not to mention the highest and lowest points in the continental US and the obvious beauty you capture in your photos.
Good luck on the site! I was wonder if you can "lock" your pics so others don't just cut and paste them...I didn't know if this would be an issue for you and your intellectual property?

Oh the geology will blow you away in that area. Have you done the Grand Circle in Utah, rad geology.
As to locking the images, small watermarked images are available for downloading for comp purposes. The only way to download a medium to extremely large file is to pay for the usage rights first. Besides all the images are © Copyrighted, so it is illegal to publish these images without permission.
