The left side of the obverse still seems a little overexposed and bright, but all is good, it shows details well, and it is a good pic. But there is always room for improvement on any pictures __________________ From The Desk Of, -T$ (Kokapowan Tribe Leader) http://www.tmoneyeagles.webs.com/   07-05-2009, 11:30 AM   #20 (permalink) the_man12 Amateur Photographer     Join Date: Mar 2008 Location: Illinois Posts: 2,953 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by tmoneyeagles The left side of the obverse still seems a little overexposed and bright You can always decrease the highlighting on a photo editor but I definitely see what you mean.

Keep using the dual light source. Even if you have to go back and reshoot all your coins, it's worth it. __________________   07-05-2009, 02:08 PM   #22 (permalink) tmoneyeagles Indian Buffalo Gatherer     Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: San Antonio Posts: 6,149 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by krispy T$: Yes these are looking great!
