camera test

[robfinds]

Bought a new camera this afternoon. Not finding it easy to use just yet. Here's a couple of pictures of recent finds, the coin is George 111, 1799. The jewel like object I found yesterday, the stone is blue. It may be of some age (but then again). Had a fairly good run over the last couple of weeks, a fair few hammered coins and the odd artifacts have turned up, I will post some pics soon.

it seems very complex, compared to the old camera Colin

Why

What make/model is it? A simple lightbox (Goggle DIY lightbox) might help defuse the light on your items better that or it's the background. The top picture looks much better than the bottom.

I think the reason for the top picture to be better, is that there are more angles(detail) for the Camera to focus on

Why

Lots more options on it, should be good in time.

It's an Olympus FE-5020.

I see it has Macro. but what you have to remember is that the compact digital macro is not as good as a SLR macro, but you should still get good pictures

I use an Olympus too. If you always use the same set up to shoot your finds, I would fool around with your ISO settings in super macro mode and you might be surprised what you come up with.
