<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1495703, member: 35227&quot;]Yea, I unfortunately do not have that kind of $$ to spend on a Photography setup. Great ideas -- in fact I already have been utilizing the +/- exposure button. Unfortunately that&#039;s about the only &quot;lighting&quot; variable I can control...my camera doesn&#039;t have an aperature button though. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks! The picture may seem blurry b/c I had to downsize the size in order to attach the picture in this thread. That&#039;s what I&#039;ve been doing...trying different angles and seeing how they turn out. But really I can only do so much with a $150 camera lol.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now that&#039;s a new idea! I just tried that and now my pictures seem to have too much exposure (since all the light in coming from the coin, rather from the whole slab). I&#039;ll also definitely keep in mind what I&#039;ve already tried so I don&#039;t spend an hour photographing each coin lol.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for all the advice! I tried applying your advice and here is what came out:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]191010.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>No matter how much I try, I can&#039;t get the photos to stop looking yellow! No matter...nothing a little White Balance editing via PS can&#039;t fix...anyways, here&#039;s what the cropped/edited photo looks like (as well as one of the reverse):</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]191011.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]191012.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Which one do you like better? The new set of pictures (above) has more even lighting, but the original set (OP) has more contrast and seems to show more luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again for all the help!</p><p>-CB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
