<p>[QUOTE=&quot;qualityrarecoin, post: 1541167, member: 40363&quot;]The white balance on this photo is off. Love the coin though. You can tell by the color of the prongs being more redish than actual white. What kind of light bulbs are you using and at what wattage? I was recently turned on to CFL Daylights 100wat equivalents at 5000k, they expose the coin and slab pretty accurately however, I am still working on getting it as close to a perfect match with the color temp brought out by the lights to the actual color of the slab. I would try experimenting with your lighting on this particular shot.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve also learned, all coins react to light differently. Morgans in PCGS holders seem to capture whites better than Morgans in NGC holders. Just from experience, each coin reacts and exposes differently under different lighting scenarios. I came in believing all coins would photo the same with the same exact settings, couldn&#039;t be farther from the truth, I sometimes have to lower the fstop to 6 on some, and as high as 13 on others to get that perfectly lit shot while maintaining the most optimal focus and color progression.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
