<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2769935, member: 77413&quot;]This is another attempt to recreate luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, I took five photos of the obverse and five of the reverse. I kept the coin at the same tilt towards the light, but just rotated it in place beneath the camera. The lighting was at the 10:00 and 2:00 positions for each of the shots.</p><p><br /></p><p>This animation shows the five positions.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]638502[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I then aligned these sets of images as best I could. I rotated each of the obverse photos so LIBERTY is horizontal, then aligned each reverse image so the bottom of UNITED STATES is horizontal. Then they were joined into five new front+back photos. Finally, I took all five still images and put them together. Usually I specify a full second between each image. This time I only allowed one-quarter second.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]638503[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this good for showing cartwheel luster?</p><p>Is it too fast?</p><p>Feel free to take apart the 5 images and try different durations, or to try new arrangements like 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2...repeat. I&#039;m curious to see what you all think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
