<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 3948092, member: 106826"]Hello Leo - when taking photos and posting them for comment, you'll need to take 'optimal' photos. When taking photos of a specimen, you'll want to take advantage of the optimal focal length of your phone's camera. Each phone is different, so find the distance where your object is in focus and fills the viewing screen on your phone. Find a heavy object (glass, can, anything really) that you can place your phone on that sets it at the optimal focal length. This will steady your shots. When zooming in on an area, you may find that you need to change the focal length again. Stay sensitive to focus. Also, lighting is important. Flood diffused light over the specimen from 2 or 3 directions. This will reduce glare and shadows. And use a proper backing. Too often folks take pictures of their coins with multicolored backgrounds which confuses the camera...and the eye. Flat backing is desirable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
