RedShoesGirl Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 i still think this is a great coin! rsg Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted August 25, 2009 Author Posted August 25, 2009 It's been a while, but I'm getting ready to send another coin or two out to travel. This time it's Crake's 2006 Suncatcher geocoin, Warm and Cool. Here are my pictures of the Warm version. Blue skies and happy caching! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 Got the Cool version of Crake's 2006 Suncatcher geocoin done too. The Cool version for some reason was a lot harder to photograph than the Warm version. I'm still not happy with the Cool photos and may try again before I release the coin. Blue skies and happy caching! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 Great Tiki photos, 57 Chevy. I've always liked the look of those but have never gotten one. Maybe I can snag one in the next International Math Trade. I tried again, and here's some better pictures of Crake's 2006 Suncatcher - Cool version. Blue skies and happy caching!

+anne.and.eli Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Ohhh I like the last shots a LOT! What a cool idea! I just ordered a light tent for my photography setup. Hopefully will be here later this week and I can start taking coin shots! Quote
dimkasmir Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 I have finally begun creating a photo catalog of my collection. Here's the link to the site: http://geocoins.shutterfly.com/. I will be adding more coins regularly so chcek back often! Quote
+anne.and.eli Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Gorgeous photos!! I saw a couple tracking numbers in there though. The klomp and the uptik both had numbers that were visible. Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted September 13, 2009 Author Posted September 13, 2009 Absolutely beautiful photos, dimkasmir! Thanks so much for posting. Do you have any photographic tips to share? Blue skies and happy caching! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
+Droo Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Well done Dmitri. I'm impressed with the quality of the images and the consistency. What kind of setup are you using? Quote

dimkasmir Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Thanks for all the compliments! My set-up is actually very simple. I use whatever light is in the room (no separate light source to light the coin). The coin is placed inside a semi-transparent lamp shade. Then, I set my camera on a tripod, set a custom white balance, and shoot the coin with a long exposure so that it isn't too dark. Finally, I sometimes modify the white balance some more on the computer and erase any really strong shadows if needed. Hope this helps! Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted March 9, 2010 Author Posted March 9, 2010 It's been a while. The 5th International Math Trade just completed and I took some photos of the coins I received in the trade. I've also got photos from last year's Math Trade that I never posted here. Most of these pictures were done quickly and might not be that good, but they do show the detail of the coins pretty well. iCache V2 - Gold Caching Time Two-Tone 2008 Earth Turtle - Gold/Blue 2009 Antique Silver/Gold Compass Rose 2009 Polished Nickel/Gold Compass Rose 2008 Celtic Peacock Cosmolabe Geocoin Dragon Ladon Antique Gold on Nickel 2009 Earth Day Suncatcher Quote

+Eartha Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 Does anyone know where I could get one of these coins? I have been looking for this very coin for some time now. Please contact me if you have one for sale or trade. Thanks Dale This thread is for high resolution photos, only. It is not for trade or sale requests please. We don't want to clutter it up with unrelated requests. Please use the pinned trading thread at the top of these forums. Thank you. Quote
+GATOULIS Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Heartbeat Black Nickel: WOW!!!! amazing!!!! The red line is fantastic! I hope the other versions will have it too, but this black nickel is.... Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 Spectacular photo, MotoCycleBoi! I love the composition, the dark background, and the depth of field. Here's my latest. This is my Texas Geocaching Association 2006 geocoin I've had in my collection for way too long. Time to let this one go traveling around the geoworld! Its goal will be to visit places in Texas where my family vacationed when I was young(er). If you find it in a cache, please help it along on its journey. Blue skies!

+ModelCitizen Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 Seems like the only time I post new photos anymore is after the International Math Geocoin Trade. I've begun to receive my trade coins this year and have taken a few photos, so here you go...

+ModelCitizen Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 I finally spent some time photographing another geocoin. This will be the next coin in my collection that gets sent out traveling. It's the two-tone 2007 Hong Kong geocoin made by Derek Wong. Blue skies! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
+goosefraba1 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 I forgot about this thread.... This would be a great home for a Jedi Mickey high res pic! Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 Got the black nickel version of the 2007 Hong Kong geocoin done too. Time for it to go traveling. Blue skies! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted June 9, 2011 Author Posted June 9, 2011 Okay, the 2007 Hong Kong geocoins have been placed into caches now to start their travels. Actually, they already traveled some with me and had a few extreme adventures before being released. A couple of the adventures even had video cameras rolling, so I posted links to the videos in the geocoins' logs. Hopefully these coins will travel far and wide and be seen and enjoyed by lots of geocachers.

Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Thank you very much for all these great photos. I love them! You can see all the details of a coin better than having it in the hand for yourself Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted July 3, 2011 Author Posted July 3, 2011 I received a couple of Dragon Tails geocoins in the 7th International Math Geocoin Trade. Here is the Dragon Tails Fire Version (red dragon on copper coin): And the Dragon Tails Sapphire Version (blue dragon on gold coin): Blue skies! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Got some more geocoins in from the 7th International Math Trade. I was really pleased with the trades again. If you're not participating in it you should. It's a great way to trade coins. There were over 1,000 coins offered for trade. Here's the Assassin's Respite antique silver and blue: Quote
+ModelCitizen Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 Black Widow coin from the Geocoin and Pin Club (October 2010). Quote

+ModelCitizen Posted July 13, 2011 Author Posted July 13, 2011 The latest Math Trade coin I got in: Caching on the Moon. This was one of my top picks in the Math Trade because it comes with the deed to a parcel of land on the moon printed on the back of the coin. What a great idea! Blue skies!

+ModelCitizen Posted August 12, 2011 Author Posted August 12, 2011 Recently, I found a nice looking geocoin in a cache. Before moving it along to another cache I took a picture. I believe this is the Cache Icons - Traditional Cache geocoin. Blue skies! Model Citizen - Zero Discipline Quote
