Subject: RE: BS: June'10 Declutter & Exercise Accountability
Totals are minimal, but I have a couple of items in play now on eBay. I've set a goal for myself, and though I was about ready to give up on this new camera, I pulled out the instructions and found the reason I was having difficulty focusing on the subjects (old bronze coins) is because they were on a similarly dark background. The sensor needs contrast. I tried a trick the book suggests and got better focus. So, I'll put several down on the table at once and photo graph them, turn them over in the same spot and photograph them, then crop them out of the larger image. Saves time and I think I can get a larger image than if I simply scan (the resolution is 1200px per square inch on the flatbed, but I can get much larger with the camera). I want people to look at these microscopically if they want.)

At lunch today I'm going to work on the yard a little on a bed I've been trying to finish for a while, then put down the steel edging.
