How do you present your photos.

I've compiled some key feedback given in this thread "presenting a photo"...

"Most of us aren't professional photographers."
-I'll keep the photos simple.

"I only have my cell phone camera."
-I'll use low resolution.

"I'll definitely angle the light and object itself to get the most desired image."
- I will show the difference with only two simple images.

"being able to evaluate a coin is best with a perpendicular shot."
- Image will be captured straight down.

"Different angles, and the light at different angles as well as the right kind of
light, but with only 1 light source. (Not meaning only 1 light, 2 or 3 lights is
ideal, but there should be no other light in the room from any source."
- I will use two light sources, with one source unchanged and the other in a
different position in each photo.

"The mirror-like surfaces of proofs can reflect light back at the camera,"
-This is how I will demonstrate the reflectiveness with the angle of light.

"...you can see that the light is not kicked directly back up into the lens, but that the camera captures the light illuminating the surface"
-This is how I will demonstrate the true surface of the coin.

"it is an educated guess that it not a super clean business stike."
- After reviewing these two simple images there should be no question of Strike type.

"small difference in the light position can have a profound difference on the resulting image."
-The two images are presented at the extreme ends of light manipulation.

This is a great example. Beautiful Morgan. See how the first image may imply Ms70 but the animated reflections start to show some marks.
