<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 3623607, member: 83845&quot;]Taking photos of my collection is one of the aspects of collecting that I very much enjoy.&nbsp; However I am far from an expert at it.&nbsp; For example, I sometimes struggle to capture good photos of coins that have nice toning.&nbsp; I tend to have the best results with direct sunlight but it&#039;s hard for me to find a good outdoor space for taking coin photos considering my only private outdoor space doesn&#039;t get great direct sunlight at the right time of day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below is one of my favorite denarii that I recently took another attempt at photographing.&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t quite capture the magnificent iridescence of this coin but I think it&#039;s a big improvement on some of my previous attempts!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]971719[/ATTACH] </p><p><font size="3">Roman Empire</font></p><p><font size="3">Antoninus Pius, AD 138-161</font></p><p><font size="3">AR Denarius, Rome mint, Struck ca.
