Nailed this Photo!

I would like to state that this coin is very deeply toned yet extremely lustrous. In all of my previous photo attempts, I captured the color adequately but could not reduce the glare to acceptable levels. Check out this new photo: blazing color with minimal glare and it really shows the surfaces very well. What are your thoughts?

Wow...is there a coin in your collection that is not lovely?

VERY awesome...

Holy Carp Paul, Looks like you found a jewel. Amazing pic.:bow:

 

Nice coin and very nice picture.

 

Looks good to me. Just photographing a coin is tough let alone a toned one. Think I may buy photo shop and possibly a new camera.

 

Yes you did nail that photo....

...however unless you're trying to show a rotated die, it appears that Monticello is a bit lopsided.

Very nice photo, Lehigh!

 

Great photo. Too bad the coin is so bland.

BTW, you aren't going to say how you did it?

 

Mike,

I bet there is a way in photoshop to rotate a photo less than 90 degrees, I just don't know how to do that yet. I had to angle the coin a bit to get the color to show and my camera position made that angle appear.

nice pics and nicer nickel

 

image->rotate cancas->arbitrary

That will allow you to manually select the degrees.

 

I think it is a terrible picture. Why did you post it?








Very nice, indeed!

 

There was on my version. "rotate" and "select", if I remember correctly.

 

Nice!

I have a few Lincoln cents with similar color.. shimmery green and gold.

 

Hey Lehigh, all you need to do is press the cursor option, then Ctrl+T and you'll be able to rotate it when the cursor is off of the picture in the grey area. Give it a try = )

Beautiful pics!

 

I think Lehigh takes all his photos through rose-colored glasses.

I don't have Photoshop but I do have Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements has a 'Straighen Tool' where you draw a line across the image that rotates the image so the points along that line will be horizontal.

Check out your image after I used the 'Straighten Tool' on it.

 

Nice toned coin. But you have to admit, that it took 2 photos to get that (those) shot(s). I wish I had the apparatus, and the coins, to take all of the photos that Lehgh96 has taken. (Especially all his toned coins)

Sorry, I don't remember the command to do it in Photoshop....

FWIW, I do rotation in RAW (Nikon Capture NX 2) -- tried it a while ago in PS, but was more satisfied with the rotation on the RAW data.

You might want to look into going RAW (or whatever Canon's version is, if that's your flavor) -- for this and a few other reasons....

Hope this helps...Mike
