When I was a kid, I used to collect small things like toy cars and lots of toys. However, I stopped collecting thing at the age of 12 where I am more inclined with sports and other physical activities. Another thing is that I don’t have sufficient money to finance a collecting hobby.
For now, I no longer like sports. I am in a state of sedentary lifestyle. Not that I want to, but I am bound to. I feel ashamed of my lame excuse. Hehehe! What do I like now? I actually like photography now. I was able to buy a digital camera last year and was able to show some of pictures that I am proud of.
As I surf the net for tips on how to make good shots out of my digital camera, I came across the book called Numismatic Photography. This book is authored by Mark Goodman and published by Zyrus Press. This is not the type of book that I have been looking, but it’s worth sharing.
Actually, this book teaches the reader in an easy-to-read and visually rich guidebook format on how to image quality photos of coins with your digital camera. We all know that today there are many coin collectors collecting some of the most rare silver coins. This passion even pushed them to take a snap on their coins for whatever reason.
This book is an impressive addition to the coin collector’s arsenal of knowledge. Whether they are using a digital camera for the first time or you already have experience in other fields of photography, Goodman addresses typical problems faced by the photographer, recommends ways of improvements and offers specific tips and techniques for raw and slabbed coins. It will really help them create a beautiful photo of their collection.
I remember to share some information on the America the Beautiful series silver coins. I just learned that the America the Beautiful Quarters will feature up to five new designs each year beginning in 2010 and lasting to 2021. The eleven year series will result in 56 circulating quarter-dollar coins with reverse designs emblematic of a selected site in each state, the District of Columbia and U.S. territories — Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. These coins will then honor some of the most revered, treasured and beautiful national historic sites located in the 50 states of US.
