<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 7290357, member: 111067&quot;]Some helpful info regarding taking pics with cell phones. Put your phone on a soup can, coffee mug etc, this avoids camera shake, and the coin on a solid color background, white, grey or black is best for silver. Then raise the coin and background on something until the coin fills the phone screen. Use lighting at 10 o&#039;clock, 2 o&#039;clock at a minimum, but preferably another light at coin level at 6 o&#039;clock. Play with the distances between coin and lighting until you achieve a result you are happy with. If there is still too much glare reflecting off the coin, diffuse the lighting with opaque plastic, oven paper or tracing paper etc.</p><p>When satisfied save to your computer. Crop the saved image to the coin&#039;s edges to remove all un-necessary background and save.</p><p>On your post after any text, go to the bottom and click the Upload a File button. Select your saved file and double click it and it will appear as a thumbnail at the bottom with two options. Click on Full Image for each one you upload. This creates a large image in your post which is enlargeable even further when a member clicks on the image. The very knowledgeable members here can then give your coin their best attention.</p><p>Hope this will be of some help, cell phone cameras these days are actually very good. </p><p>As an aside, good luck with your health issues, continue positive thinking and best of luck to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
