<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 1664106, member: 31773&quot;]Those really don&#039;t look too bad at all. There are a few issues that you might be able to fix:</p><p><br /></p><p>- Obviously the lights are just a little too high an angle and are glaring on the coin. Bring them down a bit. This will also help to bring out some luster. Having them as high as you do brings out color nicely but subdues luster.</p><p>- There is a problem with sharpness. Either the pics are just a little out of focus, or you have the aperture set way too small. Set your aperture around f5.6 - f8 for Cents and you will get acceptable depth of field as long as the coin is flat to the camera. If you are at a lot smaller aperture than this (bigger number) then the unsharp quality may be diffraction. If you are around f5.6-8 already, then you need to do a better job focusing. Are you doing autofocus? If so, it&#039;s not working well for you. Try manual if you can.</p><p>- Composition is a pet peeve of mine. The date on an Indian Cent should be level, which makes the Indian&#039;s face point slightly upwards. Remember, the priorities for photography are:</p><p>1) Composition</p><p>2) Focus (some say this is #1)</p><p>3) Exposure[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
