<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2076224, member: 19065&quot;]Dave, are you sure the image captures the way the coin looks in hand? </p><p><br /></p><p>To me there seems to be some basic issues in your image with lighting, reflections and refraction on the slab surface and highlights showing the color of the light source caught on the edges of the coin&#039;s devices, which are a different color than the gold of the coin. The images appear, on my monitor, to be a murky yellowish-green and not a rich gold as I know these coins to be in character. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have the sense that your lens was focused more on the plastic of the holder than the surface of the coin, which is one of the tricky parts of shooting coins through holders. Have you tried tilting the slab a little to eliminate some of the reflections, such as placing a coin or two under one edge of the slab? It helps sometimes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have live view on my camera and the results vary dramatically from what I can see compared to what ends up being captured. I&#039;m not sure I&#039;m a fan of it, but I haven&#039;t shot with my camera linked to my computer for immediate display on the monitor. This I believe is much superior, but still have to figure out the set up and software to use.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
