<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 2097034, member: 13307&quot;]What kind of feedback would you like?</p><p><br /></p><p>First, I&#039;d say keep working at it.&nbsp; Nothing like EXPERIENCE to teach you how to get something right.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, I think the resolution on an iPad camera (or iPhone) is only going to get you so far in terms of image quality.&nbsp; Make sure whatever you&#039;re using to take the pictures is sitting down on something stable (tripod, stack of books, etc.) and is flat (parallel) to the coin you&#039;re shooting.&nbsp; This will help with the blur and having the entire coin in focus (and round.)</p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime...</p><p><br /></p><p>Lighting is going to be your friend.&nbsp; Try different spots with your lights until you get images you&#039;re happy with.&nbsp; With cameras like the iPad&#039;s, it&#039;s probably not going to do so well with low lighting (so it will bump up the ISO, meaning your photos are probably going to be grainy.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, once you get these other two things squared away, I&#039;d see if your apps will adjust white balance and contrast.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to be helpful and instructive, while saving some knowledge acquisition for you to gain by doing.&nbsp; I&#039;d say right now your pictures are better than about 1/3 of the eBay pictures I see, but somewhere in the middle 1/3.&nbsp; (I&#039;d say mine are at the mid to lower end of the upper 1/3 right now, but I&#039;m still working on it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some GREAT threads here on CoinTalk dealing with coin photography.&nbsp; I recommend reading through them from time to time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
