Some very nice coins.. here's one more. I put the reverse first because I like it better. [ATTACH] and the obverse. [ATTACH]
I'm glad you liked the shots. Thank you. I shoot many images with and without axial lighting, using a Nikon D810 and a Nikkor 105 Macro lens. I...
I used dynamic axial lighting to shoot this Lysimachos tetradrachm. I still don't like shooting on a black background. It seems so counter...
Here's a very colourful, though unflattering portrait of Emperor Nerva. His lack of success in dealing with the army, and his forced adoption of...
A favorite image from a photoshoot earlier this year. A silver tetradrachm of Athena Alkidemos, moving left with a shield and thunderbolt. Coin...
Thank you very much. This drawing looks just like the coin. I can narrow my search for additional information about it. Thanks again. For the...
Hello Doug, I was wondering if you might share some of your coin knowledge with me regarding a coin I shot recently as part of a collection The...
Sorry for the delay in replying, but I didn't receive a notification of your comment. Thank you and I'm happy you like the images. The black...
Thank you jtlee321 for the elaboration and detailed exposure examples, though I don't see new raw shooting benefits in your post I haven't already...
I don't see this as an "agree to disagree" because I don't disagree with anything you're saying. I just came to understand we have different end...
It's evident we use very different techniques and equipment, and likely have different expectations for our images as well. Yours works for you,...
I can adjust my lights in 1/10 stop increments. I've shot enough coins to pretty much know where to set the lights to start, within a 1/3 stop or...
There are no colour changes with studio flash. They are designed for photographic use, whereas the lights you're using likely aren't. You can get...
It’s the only thing I adjust in my exposure settings. I shoot in manual mode and set my aperture to f14, ISO to 200 (native for Nikon) and my...
As I've mentioned, I use a studio flash. Are you using flash or solid lights to illuminate your coins? Can you adjust the power of your lights?
The camera is not usually the limiting factor for coin photography. I'm sure you can take a respectable coin image with a Canon EOS. As a Nikon...
what is ETTL?
Agreed, mostly. I have taken many perfectly good coin images with nothing but underlighting and effectively placed reflectors, particularly with...
A quick clarification; the white balance is determined by the colour temperature of your lights, not the colour of the background or any item in...
This problem is likely about your white balance. Yellow images are often the result of using a warm light source while having the camera's white...
