<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2774692, member: 77413&quot;]It is not deep. I can find it with a loupe if I know where to look and I get the light angle just right. Otherwise, it&#039;s just part of the surface texture.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve taken these two photos with 1.7 stops underexposure. I usually find that .7 or 1.0 will keep the bright reflections from blowing out too badly. So this is a full stop darker than what I use most of the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>This may, in fact, be too dark, but it shows that you get more saturated colors even if the coin is a bit dark. The coin is not this dark in hand, but this was taken to give a comparison benchmark for using a slight underexposure to reveal color.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think with about -1.3 stops underexposure, and with adjusting the obverse a bit left or right under the lights, I could reveal the gold and pink colors on the cheekbone and jaw. My photo throws more light into the field in front of the face than GSC&#039;s photo.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]640672[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]640673[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
