<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2129768, member: 46237&quot;]Alright I&#039;ve got my new photography setup going. I&#039;m using a D90 on the copy stand in tethered mode using the ControlMyNikon software.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my first attempts at photographing that bust quarter again. You can really see a huge difference. I was able to faithfully capture a lot of the colors that were completely absent before.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the obverse with my old setup:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/1831B5_OBV.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>And the obverse with my new setup:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/25C_1831_B5_OBV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the reverse with my old setup:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/1831B5_REV.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>And the reverse with my new setup:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/25C_1831_B5_REV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>After some trial and error I ended up using F/8 1/40 ISO 250 for these shots. I didn&#039;t like the look of the coin with two lights as the absence of shadows took away some of the highlights on the devices, so I went with one light. In retrospect, one light seems a little too dim, and I should have moved the light higher and closer to the camera because the shadows are a bit too pronounced, but I am happy I captured the color faithfully in this attempt.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any tips would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
