<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2218357, member: 32619&quot;]I want to get better at taking pictures of my coins and I invite any suggestions, criticisms, or whatever that may be useful or related.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took a bunch of pictures yesterday - most were of my tokens - but I did photo the ancient&#039;s I&#039;ve never posted to CoinTalk. The equipment I&#039;m working with right now: a point &amp; shoot w/macro and some adjustable settings I don&#039;t fully understand and a tripod. For processing I have MSPaint and Picasa (just got it) and had Paint.net but I tried to do something and had to delete it but I hardly know how to use it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are my first attempts with only processing them enough to combine the obverse with reverse and to reduce the size, using MSPaint. I used a white sheet of paper as background and before the coin was placed on it, I set the white balance to the paper. I also used a two second timer and had the zoom set two 2x, whatever that means. This is what I got:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]434263[/ATTACH] Too much white. In fact all of the first twelve I took were too white. See some more...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]434265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434266[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434267[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434268[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434269[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
