[QUOTE="coinman1234, post: 2097108, member: 51208"]I recommend taking the photos not an angle. Do not do flash or any direct light. Put it in a lit environment for lighting. Natural light is best, set it near a window to take the photos. Here is a good editor online that I use for all my photos. [url]http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/[/url] I set this on my kitchen counter which is next to a huge window, I took the photo head on not at an angle with no flash [ATTACH=full]393814[/ATTACH] If you want a photo that removes luster and shows strike and contacts marks more do it in more direct natural light or with a lamp close to the coin. Take a look at my avatar, it was took with my phone using that affect, I edited it in the program I showed you, I cropped it by hand. Time consuming process but worth it. [ATTACH=full]393818[/ATTACH] For proof coins I try to do the same method as above. Remember, never take the photos at an angle [ATTACH=full]393821[/ATTACH] Try to have fun with your coin photography as much as you can! [ATTACH=full]393824[/ATTACH] Good Luck!![/QUOTE]
