<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2132492, member: 46237&quot;]Ok I&#039;ve been playing around with different angles of lighting. Here&#039;s an attempt to reshoot my SQL Type I type coin compared to the seller photos (which I liked to begin with).</p><p><br /></p><p>Seller photo:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/SLQ_1917T1_OBV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>My photo:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/25C_1917_OBV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Seller photo:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/SLQ_1917T1_REV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>My photo:</p><p><img src="http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc338/Mangoreej/Coins/25C_1917_REV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think my shots capture the color of the coin faithfully, while the seller photos do not. Having said that, the seller photos look more lustrous, especially the reverse. I think my shots are more in focus than the seller shots, but the seller shots seem to go out of focus only toward one side of the coin. The seller shot of the reverse really brings out the detail in the wings as well. I&#039;m thinking perhaps they shot the coin at a slight angle from being propped up at one end? Overall I think I prefer my shot of the obverse and the seller&#039;s shot of the reverse. Any idea how they captured the luster like that? Is it a tradeoff between capturing the color? Am I lighting the coin <i>too</i> much? Any comments would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
