    Here's mine. Only 5 images per coin. Will add more pictures as I know how to do it now. Super easy and way cool looking results!

    Keep trying. And while you're at it, set your white balance!!!

    Nice job BigTee.
    Just a few things to consider:
    • Try to keep the coin and camera stationary for every shot so the coin isn't jumpy.
    • Take more shots so the animation is smooth. I do between 20-30.
    • Revers the images once you reach the end.
    • Correct the white balance (like Brandon mentioned). That can be done post imaging. Which I tried on your images.

    Looking good guys. If you absolutely cant keep coin stationary, you could use software to align the images before making the GIF.

    Although this is true gp, this can add a massive amount of time to the process. This is what I did with BigTee's original gif.

    The ultimate goal, for me anyway, is to shoot a video.
    You can then import the video into software, crop it, trim it and spit out an animated gif. This could cut the time down to just a couple of minutes per coin.
    We shall see!

    my camera wasn't moving, it was my awesome cropping skills that makes it all shaky. I was just testing it out to see how it looks. I had a problem at first with the image being too big so I only used a few pictures but now I figured out how to make it smaller so I can use more pictures.

    I'll be doing many of these when I get the time to do it.

    Thanks again gbroke for showing us how to do this with our coins!

    lol!
    I think it would be awesome if more people did this. Especially sellers.
