The next step in your pricing exercise is to then go through myriad of pages to find your particular issues. Along with your now determined physical and grade conditions, you can find your issue's current assumed value.

This guide also has tips on collecting, preserving and storing your comic books. And it defines various ages (Golden Age, Silver Age, etc.) that comic book history has moved through.

I guess if I had to mention a drawback to this guide, it would be fact that there is soo much information to go through, it could take you quit a while to devour whole book. Once you get well acquainted and comfortable with guide though, you could consider yourself an expert in your own right and help your friends out with their collecting and pricing questions.

I do believe this guide to be an invaluable and inexpensive resource to have and I don't think you will be disappointed with it. You can visit Heritage Comics at http://www.comic-book-collection-made-easy.com/CBPG to learn more about guide. While you are there, you may want to surf around Heritage's site. There are some very interesting subjects there. If you have never seen Heritage Comics' site before and you really enjoy it, just remember where you heard about it at (ha, ha). Of course if you would rather have a hard copy of Overstreet Guide, I an sure your local comic book store would have a copy and I hope this little review has helped you with your pricing questions.

5. Control your depth of field. If you are photographing a single flower with a busy background then use a wide aperture to selectively focus on flower and blur out background. Conversely, if you are photographing a field of flowers use a smaller aperture setting to bring most, if not all flowers into focus. If your camera has a depth of field preview then this is time to use it.

6. Look for unusual. Some examples would be snow or ice on a flower, A flower growing out of concrete or even a dead flower that has an interesting look.

7. Don’t put your camera away just because it’s cloudy or looks like a storm is coming. Colors really pop at this time and you can get some amazing photographs in these conditions. I have even photographed in rainy and foggy weather with great results. Be sure to use a tripod and keep your gear dry.

8. On a bluebird sunny day, soften harsh contrasty light by placing a diffusion screen between flower you are photographing and sun. You can purchase a portable diffusion screen or use something you have on hand. You can completely block sun and put your flower in shade, then redirect some light back on flower with a reflector. This reflector can be a commercially made reflector or just something reflective like a white T-shirt or a piece of foam core. Another photographic technique would be to use fill flash. If your camera has an automatic fill flash function then give it a try. Experiment with lighting ratio if your camera will let you change flash output. I find reflectors to be a better option then fill flash most of time.

9. Photograph your flowers from different angles. Shoot straight down, from side, from underneath, just change it up a little.

10. Have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try different things. Once you think you have photograph in bag, get wacky with it!
