<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Slu, post: 218702, member: 8338&quot;]A couple of people asked and commented about the photography. It&#039;s actually not as amazing at it seems. I use a fairly standard digital camera (Cannon PowerShot SD400). The coin is held in a 2x2 flip, and the flip is stood up against an object. I have a front and back light source (ceiling fan and desk lamp) to avoid shadowing. Here is the original photo reduced in size, as my camera takes photos in 2592x1944 resolution:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/2816/imgdimezs6.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/2816/imgdimezs6.jpg" rel="nofollow"> Original photo of date</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I take that image into Photoshop, crop out the date, and increase the size somewhat. Note that increasing the size of an image is typically not a good idea, and will usually destort it. Only upscale an image using the proper software, such as Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
