<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ffrickey, post: 1485355, member: 20613&quot;]I don&#039;t know anything about your camera, but will accept gbroke&#039;s assurances it will do the job.&nbsp; Does the camera have a supermacro focus, allowing you to get close to the coin?&nbsp; If not, then just find out how close you can get and still get a sharp image.&nbsp; Here are a couple of tips from my experience.&nbsp; </p><p>1.&nbsp; You need a stable base for the camera.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a tripod, but rest my camera on a drill press, which works quite well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>2. Lighting.&nbsp; I like 2 lamps at 10 and 2 o&#039;clock, in an otherwise dark room.&nbsp; Try various arrangements and see what works for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>3.&nbsp; It&#039;s worth getting some software (I use Photoshop Elements, which does everything I need) to process the pictures.&nbsp; Not to falsify them, but to crop them to coin size, maybe increase the lighting if the picture is a little dark, rotate the images, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>You might like to look at Mark Goodman&#039;s book &quot;Numismatic Photography&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think photographing coins is fun.&nbsp; Enjoy it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
