<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 2222146, member: 10103&quot;]Getting the right picture is a devil sometimes.&nbsp; You want the coin to appear as &#039;in hand&#039; but the results sometimes/oftentimes vary.&nbsp; I like shooting with a black background, backing off on the exposure a bit and then adding some light and contrast in the post editing process.&nbsp; Bright copper and proof coins sometimes befuddle me......the lighting has to be just right so you&#039;re gonna be shifting around the light source(s) a lot to get just the right shot.&nbsp; Old coppers and silvers I find much easier to photograph, and I suspect that you ancient fellows have much the same experience as me, with your coins lacking in luster and such.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Shoot tons of pictures JWT, till you get what you deem acceptable.&nbsp; After all, it is the digital age, not like in the old Kodacolour days.&nbsp; You can always delete and start over.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
