<p>[QUOTE="svessien, post: 4190343, member: 15481"]When I started with coin photography, my phone didn’t have a camera. It always feels like I’m cheating when I use the phone now. That just makes it a waste of time. However, I have concluded that many of the auto settings in Lightroom are better than me, so although I use manual settings on the camera, I often only use the «quick develop» settings in Lightroom.</p><p>I also use the same room, table and setting on my camera stand every time I photograph coins. Only indirect daylight with silver, sometimes a lamp with bronze/copper if I need more red. I often use a sheet of paper to reflect a little more light on the shadow side of the coin. Other times I use shadow to get some kind of expression.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1076084[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
