<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 3624471, member: 83845&quot;]Fair points and I appreciate the feedback. The lighting contrast of the auction photo certainly makes a lot of the detail pop but I’ve always thought the auction photo makes the coin look “washed out” and loses some of the coin’s in-hand character, particularly the coloration and toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>My new photo certainly doesn’t do the coin justice either <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> as I said in my OP I have a lot to learn about coin photography. I hate using the auction photos for my coins longer than necessary so I think I’ll stick with my new photo just because it’s the best I have had so far. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I should confess that I didn’t use natural sunlight for this one which is usually when I do my best toning photos. This was my best attempt done with my in house lighting set up. I will definitely be trying again with new photos at some point to see if I can hit all bases.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ll try the tilt trick [USER=56859]@TIF[/USER] .&nbsp; Thanks.&nbsp;&nbsp; Any other suggestions are welcome as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
