[tonylong]

Hey, I'm always taking on impossible challenges. So not fully backlit, but worse, a Lightroom challenge:

TPBM is what you feel is a close-to-perfect exposure, even if the composition or subject sucks!

[dotTif]

well, for me, though this is an old photo, I think it was a good use of selective coloring :) though I wish I'd done a better job on the B&W conversion.


I love it! :D

TPBM has some historical value.

[Goincarcrazy]

The most recent "mass" mint error. The George Washington dollar coins that were missing the lettering that goes around the rim. Luckily most of them came through Jacksonville and I managed to pick up a couple hundred and made quite the killing on ebay.

And I'm gonna whore this one too. 1861 3 cent silver piece.
