<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2355085, member: 32619&quot;]Hello everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I took these photos tonight and was hoping for some feedback and maybe a tip. First with the images:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479837[/ATTACH] </p><p>Gallienus, AD 253-268</p><p>Billion, antoninianus, 21mm, 2.9g; 6h; Rome</p><p>Obv.: GALLIENVS AVG; radiate, cuirassed bust right</p><p>Rev.: PAX AVG; Pax standing left, holding branch in right hand, transverse scepter in left. T in field</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think this one probably should have been brighter. I was only using one lamp when I took it. I consider it the better of the two. I used Photoscape to crop, combine, and paint the background black. I can now see I missed some spots when I did the painting. Very annoying. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]479839[/ATTACH] </p><p>Aurelian, AD 270-275</p><p>Ae Antoninianus, 21mm, 3.9g, 6h; Rome mint.</p><p>Obv.: IMP AVRELIANVS AVG; Radiate bust right.</p><p>Rev.: ORIENS AVG; Sol advancing left holding globe, two captives below </p><p>In Ex.: XXIS</p><p><br /></p><p>I used two lamps here. The picture looks off. I don&#039;t know how to describe it. The background looks pixelated to me. I used MSPaint to crop and combine. Maybe that&#039;s it? Maybe not. I&#039;m much less pleased with this one. I didn&#039;t do something right here except use two lights. </p><p><br /></p><p>I still struggle with getting a solid black background. Is there something else I should be doing? I should probably reread Doug&#039;s page. Anyway, thanks for looking and any suggestions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
