[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 4586225, member: 37839"]As many know, I am a very longtime collector of Silver coins, primarily Dollars, and Halves. Recently, I have branched out to nickels, and foreign silver coins. At any rate, given that I have plenty of indoor time with the pandemic, I would love some suggestions on improving my photography. My coin photography skills are awful, which is surprising, since I do nicely on nature and landscape photography. I use either of two cameras, a Nikon D5600 24.5 megapixel body with two lenses, an 18-55mm zoom, and a 55-300 zoom. My other camera is a Leica D lux 7 pocket camera with a 25-75 mm zoom, 17 megapixels. In addition, I have the dual camera iPhone XS Max. What techniques would you folks recommend for better photography? The results are poor, as coins come out dark, or extremely glare prone. Details get washed out, or the exposures are not reflective of the coin’s luster. Those of you that have seen my coin pictures, I would LOVE your suggestions. For post processing, I have Photoshop and Lightroom latest versions on my computer (MAC version), and Photoshop express on my iPad Pro. Thanks in advance, Morgandude11[/QUOTE]
