    Tony,

    I like the discussions on photography ... it's part of the enjoyment of collecting for me.

    You are right on the direct sunlight. While the details come out nicely, the colors can wash out and the shadows are no good. But unfortunately, today is sunny and beautiful here in Tennessee, so I had no choice in the matter. I agree with you, overcast would be best.

    There are literally tons of options out there on digital cameras. I took a long time to choose one since there are so many choices, but I needed a small size (since I am on the road a lot) and the "macro" capability for badges and such. Be careful out there, some don't have the macro. But again, it depends on use.

    Best regards,

    Mike

    P. S. Tony, some day when I get a little smarter, I would love to do a website as you have done with your collection. It is beautiful --- clean and neat which is what I like. So many look so amateurish. Some tips would be nice from you on this as well. Please feel free to PM me and I will give you my coordinates.

      MAX Show

      Well, just back from the MAX show ... returned home yesterday and did pick up a few small items. I enjoyed the show and had a chance to meet some Association members I had never met before. Great to see folks in person!

      I know most of you guys are only collectors of the German badges but since so many of the Luftwaffe aircrew wore the badges of their allies, I have started collecting these as well. Here is a Romanian Observer/Air Crew badge that I purchased at MAX.

          Hi Mike:
          A big thank you for sharing some more of your marvelous collection. It is nice that you have taken the time to show us some really interesting pieces.
          By the way, I took your advice and signed up for Detlev's site. A nice Meybauer Observer's Badge found a new home.
          A cased short-range fighter clasp in silver is in the works, too.
          Best regards,
          Chris Werner
