My Coin Photography

I get many compliments on the photographs of coins I take. One secret is using natural, diffused lighting. I always set my coins on a window sill with a white sheet of paper underneath, and let the natural light do much of the work. (No direct sunlight as it creates shadows; just using light that comes in). Below are some of my examples I took with my Canon EOS with a 100mm macro lens.

An offer of solicitation? Kripes, I thought you knew better.

 

I am not selling anything. My services are free.

 

So you'll photog a persons collection or coins for free, right?

 

All for the love of the craft

 

Yes. I do not charge a fee to take photos.

 

Then you are indeed pure of heart? I salute you sir.........

 

And you photogs ain't half bad either.........

 

I just took 288 photos (144 coins) for a dealer here in Buffalo, NY. No charge. All he paid for was a jump drive for me to put the photos on and postage to mail it.

 

Wow, that's a lot of work you're giving out for free. A tip of the hat to you!

I just finished a run of many coins at $3 each and I groaned like it was the world's worst job.

Very nice photos along with a very generous offer.

 

Your shots are pretty good. Better than many on here, but if you want to raise the bar, check out my web page.
