<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 108068, member: 4552"]Great looking coin. What kind of camera? Most normal digital cameras work best with adaquate lighting. Actually even film cameras work best with lots of lighting. Don't know where you live but if in an area where it's not 20 below zero outside, try just taking photos outdoors. Just put the coins on a black cloth, Bar-B-Que grill (not being used), someone car trunk or your own. Try not to do this in direct sunlight due to high reflections on the coin. You would not really need a tripod unless your hands shake a lot. When taking such photos, take a deep breath and hold it. Remember as you breath you chest expands and contracts making your arms move also. So just hold your breath. </p><p>Others have just used a window ledge if outdoor conditions are not advantageous.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
