I appreciate that Jason. Very kind of you to say.

 

Kurt, I am curious, does this image reveal the actual color of this cent?? It looks a gray-brown, or a ruddy-gray. What post processing software (if any) did you use?

Now that you mention it..... good question

 

I think this one came out pretty well for a $100 point and shoot.

 

I'm a rank amateur compared to some of the photographers on this site.

But just a guy with a Sony Cybershot DSC H-10 held in hand, and a simple program like MS Office Picture Manager can take some decent shots and post them.

Here's one of my favorites. The deep green color and detail on this Bronze As of Vespasian came out nicely.

 

finally got a photo, is this the right place to post?

 

could this be ear doubling?

 

Taken with a Fuji FinePix S8200 digital camera, SR Auto setting and macro option. Used a black sock background/prop just above my knee while in the easy-chair and zoomed in. Lighting - single 60w equiv. LED 4'to the right, 2' higher in elevation. Old girl is a little beat up but I thought the pic turned out well... Shows nicks & scratches well.

 

Nice one, here's one of mine.

Nikon D5200, Standard lens with tripod, in a rush so I set it to auto.

Yours looks better than the one I took with my camera, I still think my cellphone is one of my best coin cameras

 

Here's a colorful Indian cent from my 2015 calendar:

Nikon D80, 105/4 Micro-Nikkor, ISO 100, 1/20 sec, f8.

 

Maybe not my best, but I love how this one turned out. It's real close to how this proof looks in hand....almost liquid surfaces.

Shot by hand (all my pics are) using an old Canon SD700IS. No post processing other than to resize (all my pics are "from the camera raw").

In my opinion, proofs are the HARDEST objects in the world to photograph!

 

Great Seated half!Thanks I now know what an almost perfect one looks like! Drool,drool!....

 

While it doesn't look very gray on my monitors, it wasn't shot to bring out color/toning/reflective qualities. It was shot, using a process I developed, to bring out minute details for die variety study, while controlling highlight and shadow. Full-size it is 7664 x 3808.

 

Captured great texture!! Nice shot, nice coin!!!

 

I feel compelled to add this photo to the thread, since it is on the cover of a book!

 

iPhone 6plus camera. Nothing special I just love this coin

 

Love your setup. I actually have a similar one and also just finished looking at some 2012 proof sets for pf70's. Small world.

 

I see you have stamps too
