[QUOTE="wlhyatt, post: 227853, member: 18352"] I can tell by the reactions to my comments that there are a lot of people put off by the comments they receive in this particular section of the forum. I am not taking anything personally. I can take honest criticism, I would be annoyed if there was no explanation and a comment of "this sucks". That's not what I received, so I am pleasantly surprised. I do not understand the comments of "wide angle", since this was shot with a regular zoom on a mirrorless camera with a crop factor of 2.7, hence the 27mm focal length equivalent. Maybe someone can explain why that makes a normal zoom lens a wide angle lens? So my notes from this particular experience can be summed up like this: 1. If the picture is of a stack of pennies, then just get a picture of the pennies. 2. If the picture is of a scene, including family counting and rolling those pennies, then use the 10mm end of the 10-30 and get them in the shot. Maybe not as foreground, but to show the action. 3. If in doubt with a dark background then slightly overexpose (according to the light meter). I may have had the metering set on whole scene or something, rather than center weighted. [/QUOTE]
