Creative Photography

I've been messing about a bit this weekend with the Samsung A8 cell phone. I'm pretty happy with the results I'm getting - well a huge improvement on anything I've done using anything else before! This 2,335 year old tetradrachm from Babylon turned out to be quite photogenic. Ideal shooting distance for the obverse and reverse was about 6 inches. However, it took about twice that distance for the autofocus to stop misbehaving and give me a half-decent shot of the edge.

Sadly, I don't have binocular vision...thus, no depth perception or capability to see 3D pictures. My brain turns off my right eye, since it doesn't focus like my left eye. If I cover my left eye, my right eye springs into action...with a different view.
AncientJoe, your second Aegina picture is SPECTACULAR. A treasure! Well done!

 

Wow @AncientJoe - how many meters high is that turtle! Great photo! and amazing coin.
