Hello Friends, Of the many different coins I have, some of you know that I really enjoy the AGE series! For the Series, 3 piece AGE Anniversary Set this is my favorite by a long shot...I photographed it out of the the set of three. To me it is a beautiful (Reverse Proof) Modern Gold Eagle. The Green reflection on Liberty is from my card table's felt surface. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do... Regards, RickieB
For Speedy.... Howdy Speedster, if you look at this thread the two images I took you will see the difference in lighting and exposure. #1. The Obverse was taken with lighting by 3 stops faster than the second image, the reverse. Same setting, same white balance same everything. Lighting is a very cool subject! Good luck.. Thanks for the comment everyone...it is really a nice set to have! RickieB Camera ; Manual mode, f 8 Shutter speed 1/60, tripod mounted len's shot in jpeg normal. File size was 4.5 MB. This image is severely compressed down to <90 KB. Compression is not such a good thing because it deminishes fine digital detail. If takem in RAW, the file size for the D2X is 17.x MB I am still learning about this stuff and if anyone can help me I am willing to listen. Regards to all...
I agree - that's a very cool effect - almost reminds me of the Statue of Liberty. Thanks for sharing!
I was just getting ready to ask how you took these! Well I've kindof fixed my problem! I was useing 1 light and sometimes a photo of a silver coin would come out looking kindof brown....the only time this would happen is when I'm taking a really close shot of something like an RPM so I now do what the experts do.....turn the photos Black and White!!!!! 1954-D/D Nickel. Also as a side note! Today I broke open a roll of 1964-D nickels (never been searched) and the 2nd coin was a D/D! (RPM-002) Speedy
