<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3306398, member: 19463"]The secret of good coin photography is not equipment or techniques as much as looking at your first image and being able to recognize something that would make it better. About 1% of the time, that may require new equipment but more often it requires a change of attitude or interest on the part of the operator. I really get tired of people blaming their poor images on their cameras when they are using less than half of the capabilities of that equipment. I do not pretend to know the weaknesses of all imaging systems and have no interest in learning a thousand old phone models. I wish I could get better with the ones I have. Since I have been a photographer almost as long as I have collected coins, I may have used more different cameras than most and have opinions on things most people would ignore. The limitations are more likely to be when the user stops caring to learn than anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never noticed a problem with jamesicus' photos that in any way prevented them for showing his coins to good advantage. I have never touched an iPad but may have to borrow my wife's (non-Apple) tablet and try it but I hope it does not make me throw out my cameras.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
