<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 2361711, member: 17469&quot;]There are some exposure settings on that cropped image that are a bit odd. It is taken with:</p><p>AV</p><p>f/20</p><p>1/60th sec</p><p>ISO 250</p><p>-3.3EV</p><p><br /></p><p>While I agree you&#039;ve got three larger issues right now: 1) Lighting 2) Focus 3) Practice, you should also look at these at some point. Most any lens will get worse past about f/8 because of diffraction, and this is only magnified with macro type photos. So I&#039;d suggest F/8. On your presumably very steady copy stand I would use ISO 100 and a longer shutter speed for better quality. The -3.3EV, which presumably you&#039;ve had to dial in to adjust the exposure, is a result of using AV and spot metering on the coin. You can do it this way, or you can meter against a gray card, shoot in Manual, and be closer to right from the get-go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
