<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 4193162, member: 87200&quot;]I use shadows from natural light along with a light background, tends to give an in-hand look. Also the coloring on the coin comes out right. In rare instances I use light, for example, the Constantine coin I shared last week has a very dark and glossy patina which did not show well in natural light - I just couldn&#039;t get the image bright enough. I resorted to using a &quot;flash&quot; setting on my phone which produced a reasonable image, but I cannot say that I was entirely happy with the result. Overall my phone cam (google pixel) takes very crisp and detailed images so long as you do not focus too close. You actually get more detail by moving the phone back about 6&quot; from what seems normal. Anyway, I&#039;m still experimenting a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
