And there&#039;s nothing wrong with this. People forget that the camera makes built-in adjustments too. The goal is simply to achieve realistic images.</p><p>Lance.</p><p><br /></p><p>SHOT WITH 180mm Macro and D-SLR, Halogen lighting, on a copy stand and processed with Apple Aperture 2 software:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Lincolns/1912PCGS66RDobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/Lincolns/1912PCGS66RDrev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
