<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1277987, member: 26030&quot;]I just got this book by Mark Goodman called Numismatic Photography (2nd Edition).&nbsp; Wow!&nbsp; I give it my highest rating of 5 stars.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can buy it on Amazon for around $30 new or $23 used.&nbsp; Mark himself says on his website (<a href="http://browncopper.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://browncopper.com" rel="nofollow">http://browncopper.com</a>) that he will send you a copy for $25 and free shipping, however I emailed him a week ago and never heard back (maybe he&#039;s on vacation?), so I bit the bullet and bought it from Amazon at the slightly higher price. </p><p><br /></p><p>This is, without a doubt, the ultimate reference on coin photography.&nbsp; The book, which checks-in at a succint 159 pages, is dense with the most useful material you will ever see on this subject.&nbsp; Almost every page has beautiful colorful high-res images of coins, many shot with variations in lighting, angles, etc. -- and then the variations discussed.&nbsp; Even notes on which image was preferred by the customer.&nbsp; Every time I was reading this and was thinking ... &quot;hmmm, I wish this book would tell me this&quot;&nbsp; ... a few sentences later I was reading the answer.&nbsp; &nbsp; The quality of this book is amazing, although technically a paperback, it uses the highest quality (heavy, thick, glossy) paper.&nbsp; The images are gorgeous.&nbsp; The book discusses cameras and lenses, camera settings, lighting and angles, as well as post processing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s interesting to me that people spend hundreds on cameras, lights, stands, etc. ... but what they really need is this $30 book!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]141130.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
