dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 8:02 pm I got to wondering if it were easier to dig photo Gold than Silver. I keep getting serious reflections on the silver...so I tried this little experiment. Now if I could just stop jiggling the camera or try with my husbands little tripod. It worked!

dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2365 Posts	Posted 08/10/2006 9:31 pm Yes it did Bryan...my camera didn't say it did but, it moved just enough to blurry it up. I tried it again and posted the results on the Proof Photo thread. Amazing what a little tripod and less caffeine can do! Thanks for the observation though, I thought it was just me! Whew!

Instant fix. I was the "shakiest gun in the west" before that.[:0] Report this Post to the Staff

RangerXLT8 Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 10/11/2006 5:48 pm Wow those coins are nice. Tri-pods definitey make the camera still. I use a prop because I don't have a tri-pod. Report this Post to the Staff
