The FLL Brothers reunited..

[Van]

Hello,
Just thought I would share my newest FLL Pilots badge that I picked up today from Robert (thanks and nice meeting you)... It goes very nice with my other FLL Pilots badge.. I picked up this second one because it has a different hinge and catch setup than my first one....

Very nice Van & your photos are superb especially the close ups which show every detail

[George L]

I was thinking the same thing...great detail! What camera equipment did you use?

[Mike Yokum]

George beat me to THE question. What camera did you use?!?

Oh, by the way, absolutely delicious FLL's!

Hi Van,

Both excellent originals in decent shape. I would also like to know which camera you are using for these great closeups?

Thanks guys,,
I use the Cannon EOS Rebel XTI with a 50mm compact macro lens. When I went out looking for a new camera, the sales rep showed this one to me and I asked him to demonstrate it by taking a picture of a black wound badge I had, on the pin it was mm'd 4... he took a picture of the mm and it blew us both away, we saw right down into the crevass of the 4... I also use a 16" square light tent that disperses the lighting to even it out... here is a link for the Camera..

Thanks again for the compliments all...

Hi Van,
