<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jtlee321, post: 2321605, member: 73983&quot;]As [USER=1892]@SuperDave[/USER] has said, the problem with high quality digital imaging is that it can magnify and create problems that don&#039;t exist.&nbsp; I am probably going to shoot a 1080p video of the this coin and show it in it&#039;s full glory.&nbsp; The coin is extremely lustrous with lot&#039;s of frost.&nbsp; This coin is a very tough one to photograph.&nbsp; There are a lot of points in the frost that have become smoothed out in the die and thus transferred to the coin through the striking process.&nbsp; The breaks in the frost look like bag marks in the images simply because they are reflecting light away from the camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think this coin will be a great study tool to help me develop a method of lighting that shows coins similar to this in a much better way.&nbsp; Add to the formula of shooting through a sheet of plastic and it really starts to limit your choices for lighting styles.&nbsp; Had this coin been raw, then I would have chosen a hybrid between axial and off angle lighting to show the true surface of the coin.&nbsp; The plastic is the limiting factor in that choice.&nbsp; I will treat it as challenge to somehow hopefully overcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do greatly appreciate your input and opinions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
