<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4198827, member: 78244&quot;]I exclusively take pictures with an iPad, though I want to start using a legitimate camera in the near future.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve found that there is a very precise sweet spot in distance above the coin that produces the clearest pictures. The hardest part of taking pics is the lighting. I generally use overhead lights in my apartment, so I am at the mercy of what is installed. My last apartment had such crappy lighting that I could only photograph in the mornings when the walls were sufficiently lit to supplement the main light sources.</p><p><br /></p><p>The background HAS to be black. Anything else will “distract” the camera and cause colors and lighting to appear weird.</p><p><br /></p><p>Small and big coins were often problematic. The camera’s resolution was not good enough to take clear high-quality shots of small coins, and I had to move the iPad further away to accommodate large coins (with a decrease in clarity).</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a sampling of my results. Some are better than others for the reasons above.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1077270[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077271[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077272[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077273[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077274[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077275[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077276[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077277[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
