Nice and sharp, and good detail. That piece of lint on the edge of the 1979 penny is bugging me though!

This was shot in the darkness to elminate any red casting from the sides of the buket the change was in, I litterally did not see it. The nickle on the right was maticulously placed so I could see the meter needle, even then I barely saw it.

Oh, wow, interesting. How long of an exposure?

2s, (I think) It was in the full seconds range, that I am positive of

still looks quite red to me, long exposure = more light = color cast from bucket, no big deal if hand printing though. Personally I'd of set up the shot without the bucket. H

A translucent food container should do the trick, or maybe an empty ice-cream carton. Chances are you'd be able to fire a flash in through the side of it.

Yes, I did notice there was some red tint to it still despite, but I really did not want to dump that buket outjust for the shot.

Even then, I was rather pleased with the the lab print that came back.

I don't have any translucent food containers, just don't use them. Also I don't use flashes unless absolutely necessary, even then they are generally puny POS built in flashes.


Thanks for the input.
