<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4016901, member: 19463&quot;]I made an image to demonstrate the point of rotating the phone.&nbsp; The top three were shot with the built in light which on my phone is just above and slightly to one side of the lens.&nbsp; One was shot vertically, one horizontally and one inverted but images were rotated back to restore the top to &#039;up&#039;.&nbsp; Note the differences in where the glares and shadows fell.&nbsp; For comparison, below is an image taken with no light other than what was in the room and another using a ring light that clips onto the phone and encircles the lens.&nbsp; I strongly suspect that those intent on using a phone for coins might combine these options and add additional lights (for example combining natural daylight and the ring or the built-in light.&nbsp; I did not try flash because I prefer to see what I will be getting before I shoot.&nbsp;&nbsp; The point here is that there are controls that can be used with any imaging device that can improve or ruin the photos.&nbsp; We each must decide whether we want to learn them or put up with the results.&nbsp; Needless to say, I will be returning to using my camera for photos and my phone for talking. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1056297[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
