<p>[QUOTE=&quot;biged239, post: 1664508, member: 29948&quot;]<b>coin picture</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Hello Aslpride</p><p>I have taken over 10,000 silver and copper coin pictures. I have found that what was stated earlier is correct. Point and shoot camera will take a better silver coin picture than trying to spend a lot of money on lenses and filters. I played around for almost a year with setting the camera features and doing everything suggested for taken good pictures. When everything is said and done. A good auto focus on macro,&nbsp; a camera stand&nbsp; to hold your camera at a set height (about 4 inches from coin) and one side light. this will give you a good picture for seeing your coin details in a picture. </p><p>If you are trying to get a shinny coin picture you will loose definition because of the mirror effect and you can see a pretty coin but you cannot see detail. If you want both? I have not seen that happen on very many coins. The mirror reflection is going to be hard to over come to get a true picture unless you are a professional with more knowledge than you are going to achieve from a forum. Just take the camera you have now, using the same coin. Change the background behind the coin and you will get a different look each time you change background color. This is why I like a gray background for silver coins. I have attach a sample coin picture. Regular blue back ground is good and still pick up detail. For pretty pictures with a shine and less detail use a black background. </p><p>I hope this helps</p><p>Thanks Biged</p><p>P.S. Using the timer on camera will help also. If you have more question you can PM me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
