<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 3629980, member: 83845&quot;]Thanks everyone for the advice and encouragement!&nbsp; I was thinking about this today and I wonder if there might not be a another place anywhere where there are so many people experienced in ancient coin photography.&nbsp; I think I am now satisfied with my newest shot. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This might be the truest statement about coin photography ever spoken... and thank you for the nice words <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I use photoshop... thanks for the tip I’ll have to experiment!

I think your present photos are very nice.&nbsp; Of course with the quality of your collection that I’ve seen it’s not a surprise your coins are photogenic <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
