<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4401212, member: 19463&quot;]Yes, AK, I do like the style on your coin.&nbsp; Actually it is easier to take great photos if you have great subjects.&nbsp; I am discovering that the highest grade coins are not necessarily the best for photographing.&nbsp; I have been selecting future victims for my macro work and discover some of the most promising are fourrees of coins with &#039;interesting corrosion.&nbsp; My next one, though, is a better than average Legionary (LEG III ITAL) from the Rome mint series of 193 AD.&nbsp; If anyone has a better one, please do show it.&nbsp; The selected section shows the head of the eagle with collar and the capricorn on the left standard.&nbsp; This is one of my better legionaries in both style and grade.&nbsp; Click to see larger.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1106214[/ATTACH] </p><p>This time I only stacked four images and paid the price for being cheap since there is an unsharp area where the eagle&#039;s beak meets the field. Anotrher place it needs improvement is dusting off the coin before shooting.&nbsp; There is a tiny dust hair on the neck of the capricorn and a lighter one under the collar.&nbsp; I should have made more effort to color match the two.&nbsp; The macro is a bit red.&nbsp; This is a learning experience.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1106215[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
