At this two-day seminar, you can learn the basics of numismatic photography, under the instruction of a distinguished museum curator.

The American Numismatic Association’s Florence Schook School of Numismatics is coming to New Hampshire Oct. 24–25. “Fundamentals of Digital Photography” is offered in conjunction with the New Hampshire Coin and Currency Expo in Manchester.

This two-day seminar is instructed by Douglas Mudd, curator of the ANA’s Edward C. Rochette Money Museum. Learn the basics of numismatic photography, from shooting the image to preparing it for the Web, presentations or publication, using Adobe Photoshop. Students should be prepared to bring their own “macro-capable” cameras and several coins they would like to photograph. Although not required, students are also encouraged to bring their own laptops and software.

“Fundamentals of Digital Photography” will be held each day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuition is $294 for members of the ANA and the New England Numismatic Association (NENA), and $394 for non-members. ANA Basic Membership (www.money.org) is $28; NENA Membership (www.nenacoin.org) is $12.50.
