<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3890745, member: 106826&quot;]Tips on photos:</p><p><br /></p><p>Find an object that has some mass to it that is about as tall as a optimal focal length for your camera phone.&nbsp; For instance, if your phone takes a sharp, clear image at 5&quot;, the object should be at 5&quot; tall.&nbsp; The mass of the object allows you to steady your phone against it at the set focal length.&nbsp; Use the zoom of your phone&#039;s camera to capture closer images paying attention to sharpness of your image.&nbsp; Use diffused lighting from 3 positions at approximately 120° from each other.&nbsp; This will allow you to use lower, diffused lighting while minimizing glare and shadows.&nbsp; Use a solid backing of an appropriate color.&nbsp; When taking pictures of darker coins, use a lighter backing but be careful not to pick something that will cause light issues with your phone&#039;s camera because of reflection.&nbsp; Flat backing...not a glossy surface.&nbsp; For lighter coins, use a dark-flat backing.&nbsp; Crop your photos.&nbsp; All the distractions should be minimized.&nbsp; What I think is ideal is setting your phone on the object of mass and zooming in a bit so that the object fills the screen image on your phone.&nbsp; Take a picture there.&nbsp; Good luck on your setup.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
