What is the best way to capture the essence of an error coin? Ugly angle and special lighting or Natural full frontal with arrows and fig leaves to argue your opinion? BTW~for neophytes with unspecial cameras, I started a thread http://www.cointalk.com/t76914/#post727763 to at least reduce shakey & color balance hindered photo taking. Check it out. You may like it.
That's great, I just looked at your link briefly b/c I'm at work but I got an idea off it right away. How do some of the ppl make arrows, red circles etc? Is there a freebie site like imageshack or do they buy software?
Screen Grab This is a screen grab of the "Lunch Bowl" image I posted before. I used the Free downloadable program, Irfanview, to grab the screen and then lighten and resize the image. Any ideas of how to better demonstrate the coin?
I've been monkeying with this for awhile. It seems to look better with light from both sides, with the coin in a HDPE container to diffuse the light. There are those who have it mastered and use their own method. Hope they add to this discussion.
thanks for the info this helps since i am trying to get some good pics of errors i have and some input on other coins i want to post again thanks a million for this advice
