<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brocster, post: 51357, member: 2744&quot;]Hi <b>mr22601</b>!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for the compliments regarding my pictures.&nbsp; I still have a ways to go, however, before they&#039;re &quot;perfect&quot;. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the &quot;how,&quot; I just position a bright light source to the side of the coin (although ideally there should be <u>two</u> sources -- one one each side) at about the same level as the coin, and then I hold my camera directly over the coin.&nbsp; Just be sure that you&#039;re in <b>macro</b> mode -- most digital cameras today have some sort of macro button or mode -- otherwise the picture will either come out very tiny (since you&#039;ll have to be a few feet away from the coin in order to focus) or very out of focus (since you&#039;ll be too close to the coin for the &quot;regular&quot; mode to be able to focus at such a short distance).&nbsp; I think my camera&#039;s macro mode can focus down to 2&quot;, so I can get in pretty close.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m still working on trying to get good pics of <u>proof</u> coins.&nbsp; Every time I try, I keep getting a reflection of the camera in the fields of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, I hope that helped. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>- Andrew[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
