Post your Lincolns!

What are you using to photograph your cents and what format are you saving in to make them move/gleam like that?

I spent over a battery trying to capture this coin. And still didn't get it right.

 

I have some guidelines on post #5245 in this thread. It refers to a couple of other threads with more detailed information.

Briefly, I take a set of pictures with a still camera and slightly vary the setup between each shot. Then I crop them, fill the background with solid black, join obverse and reverse into a single image, and use a GIF animation program (which you can find online, in image editors, or on free web sites) to create an animated .gif file. If you download one of the images you can even use a photo editor to take it apart and look at the 5, 7, or 9 photos I used.

 

Thanks for sharing your secret sauce Ron! Truly amazing photography! I'm going to play around with your techniques, hopefully it can be done with some practice. Thanks again!
