Hi Group, I need help/suggestions on how to produce a scan such as those
shown in the links provided below.  The scans are of coins.
Specifically the scans noted with the prefix “desired” are what I want to
achieve.  Those noted with the prefix “typical” are what I and nearly

On an analog photography technical book I saw once some very nice
pictures of eyes
There were very sharp and there was a special description of the
technique to take those

This one is just for fun, the link below should take you to an

I'm thinking of selling my Nikon FM10 + 35-70mm
zoom lens at ebay, yet I have no clue what it's
worth nowadays. The camera is in perfect condition.
Any advice appreciated!

I know this is probably a question you're all sick of.
I'm planning on getting a d70, and I was wondering about lens compatibility.
I have the original AF (non-D/I/S) lenses, so how will they work with flash?
(I can live without 3D-metering).

OK, I was at a high school beauty padgenty this evening discovering

alternative
modestly priced slr that would be worth paying a bit extra for?

I borrowed a friend's Nikon 4300 digital camera.  The lens stated 8
to 24mm focal length.
How do I convert a focal on this camera to (a) the equivalent 35mm
lens and (b) horizontal angle of view?

Have a look at some of my photos.

Ruthless beatings are welcome, as long as you identify the specifics of
what sucks.

I'm about to buy my first digital SLR and I have narrowed it down to the
Canon Digital Rebel XT or the Nikon D70s. From all i have read, it seems the
cameras are very comparable. Any feedback?
Thanks.

Ok I have been putting off the SLR purchase longer than I had hoped but I
have noticed the Olympus Evolt 500 has some good features (including a
second lens) at an affordable price.   currently have a standard Olympus
camera which takes pictures that I am happy with and even allows ...

I have been looking for a book that gives a basic background of  photography
as a science and not as an art, and found one of the best  books was
published in 1868 by Mathew Carey Lea, called "a Manual of  Photography". It
is still available as a hardcover for a fair piece of  ...
