<p>[QUOTE="MIGuy, post: 8431098, member: 116145"]How do I take pictures? Poorly! I take such bad pictures that my slabbed graded coins look fake. I have no idea how these guys take such amazing pictures. A tip I got here that really has improved things at least half the time is I have a stack of books, then I put the coin on a plastic bottle cap, make sure I've got good lighting as much as possible and then put my cell phone on top of the book stack so it's nice and steady, and photograph the coin below on the bottle cap. I have a relatively newish iPhone SE (2nd Gen) so the pictures should be great, but the photographer seems to be the issue on my end. I wonder what sort of editing software they use or technique to get those closeup round photos. Anyway, here's an old photo and a brand new one that I took of the same coin with the same iPhone.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1495042[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1495043[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
