Lawrence Chard's photostream  

Coin and Bullion Dealer, based in Blackpool, England.
Most of our work related photos are macro shots of coins, medallions and jewellery. All highly reflective, mainly small, and difficult to light.
We use a number of Canon DSLRs, with EFS 60mm Macro, EF100mm Macro, MP-E 65mm lenses, both Canon ringflashes, Adobe Photoshop, for Mac and PC.
We also have a Canon EF 180mm Macro, and will probably get an EF 100mm L Macro.
Additional equipment includes a Manfrotto tripod, Hama copystand, spirit levels, light box, light tent, wall-mounted roll of white card, monitor calibrator, Herman Miller Aeron chairs.
My own, non coin, photos are mainly places, people, anything interesting, amusing, or entertaining. Mainly with only minimal processing. These get used on our websites when relevant, and most of our travel is work related.
Until recently, we have sot using highest resolution, largest size .jpg file formats, but are starting to add .raw also; and we will probably store 1 copy of each as a .png file.
Our photographs get pirated frequently, to which we take great exception, especially when it's by competitors too lazy to do it themselves. We grant free use for some purposes, and publish our copyright policy online (just Google us).
