[QUOTE="coinzip, post: 1693817, member: 10938"]There is a ton of information on the web about taking photos of coins, I would suggest that you read as much as possible and don't be afraid to try new things. I have spent years trying to figure out how to use my DSLR, and while I'm pretty happy with some of my images there are always some coins that give me trouble. Trying to capture luster and or color can sometimes be quite challenging, you have to experiment with lighting and or settings. I've been amazed at some of the photos I was able to get with my 1.3 mp microscope. One of the things I started doing early on was to keep a notebook of my settings for different types of coins. That way when I have to shoot the same type of coin I can check my notes and quickly set up the camera. You could keep your notes in a spread sheet or any other program.[/QUOTE]
