<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 515479, member: 13650&quot;]How can you tell he didn&#039;t adjust it?&nbsp; He may not have but the white background looks pretty white to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; It&#039;s not a bad picture.&nbsp; It looks just slightly out of focus.&nbsp; And you should be able to get a bit closer than that.&nbsp; To bring out the luster more, you may have to go with multiple artificial lights.&nbsp;&nbsp; In Numismatic Photography, Mark sometimes uses up to 3 lights, occasionally with diffusion, and it brings out the luster really nice.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; That said, you also have to realize you&#039;re only going to get so much out of the equipment you have.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what you have but the fact is, you just aren&#039;t going to get the same quality pics that a $1k camera with an $800 dollar macro lens on it can take, with a $200 point and shoot.&nbsp; Or in my case, a $400 camera with cheap, additional lenses.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I could get a more expensive camera if I wanted to but trying to achieve professional quality pictures to share with my friends on cointalk isn&#039;t high on my priority list at this time.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s probably not high on yours either.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m more than satisfied with&nbsp; what this camera can do at this time. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Your camera is taking decent enough shots to get your point across.&nbsp; Maybe you could try getting a couple inexpensive lights and experimenting.&nbsp; I think you will find even the most basic photo editing software does a great job to fix pictures.&nbsp;&nbsp; Even photobucket has an autofix that works wonders.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s about as basic as you can get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
