<p>[QUOTE="Dave Malby, post: 2785001, member: 88419"]If the background is white. The color temperature seems to be on the yellow side of the spectrum <>3500K you need a color temp that is neutral @ 5000-5500 between Red and Blue. The focus looks sharp. Overexposed photos limit the detail of the coin. Macro photography requires a lot of experimentation to get it right. I ended up purchasing 5000K CFL lights, a refurbished Canon T2i, Macro Lens and I mount the camera on a CamStand. I use manual settings and save in RAW format so I can correct minor setting errors with an app such as Photoshop. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your photo was altered digitally using a free app called Irfranview. I think all you need to do is make some minor adjustments on lighting and exposure and your photo will be much better than the altered one below.
