Clark you are getting the picture taking/posting down to a science.  If I remember right you have a nice photo lighting setup also. Good lighting and a photo program sure makes a difference.  Can you make a crack disappear?  I mean for real not just in the picture!! ;D  Mike

Nice lids, I haven't seen either of those before.  I love looking at pictures of iron Thanks for posting, Mike

Tricky, tricky, Clark - That's the way to get real good prices on e-bay!

Actually, they're really nice and show what you can do with these software packages. My wife and I just got ourselves a real nice camera for Christmas (Canon EOS Rebel - 10.2 mpx) and I'm getting back into photography, so it won't be long before I'll be needing one of these programs.

I see you use Corel, any advice?  Anyone else have recommendations on photo software?

Mike yes I can make a crack disappear.  ;D
Jim we have a Canon Power Shot G6. cheaper than the EOS, and it does not have that 35 mm feel like yours. My wife likes the Canon photo soft ware better . Every maker has photo software, all a little different and good. User frendly to you is the most inportant thing to look for in software. I got Corel on sale a while back and like it. I think that we have at least 5 outher softwares. It is a lot easer to stick with just one. ::) Because thay all do something different :-/

Clark, what does your photo setup look like?  What are you using for a light sourse?  I am trying to document my collection piece by piece and am having difficulty with the lighting.

Clark, did you learn to take good pictures working at that gentleman's publication you mentioned a few days ago? ;D

My Canon has a setting for incandescent lighting.  It seems to work pretty good at making the image normal and not a little yellow.

Hey Clark, great pictures. It also looks like Jeff has got you figured out Clark. Actually Larry Flynt and Clark are great friends. Lets see, where did Larry set up shop and begin his operations, answer Columbus. Now, where does Clark live and has lived for quite a long time, answer Columbus. Who gets a christmas card from Larry Flynt every year, yep, Clark Rader. SO, Clark is an accomplished photographer and does great work. Thanks for sharing your talents with us Clark.  ;)

Well yes and no, I used to go in  ;D the bars and take pictures of all the go go  :-*  you know for money. 8-). Larry got his start in Columbus also and he did better than me, besides I am not that kind of guy. That is the story of my life, and now I am a collector of cast iron. :'( :) clark
