[QUOTE="Volante, post: 1798563, member: 57279"]I recently took a chance on a poorly-photographed toned Morgan on eBay and it turned out pretty well. The problem is, I can't seem to take good pictures of it either. I've photographed a few slabbed Morgans in the past using Lehigh96's light diffusion method (paper towel covering the lightbulb in a desk lamp) but it doesn't seem to be working this time. The only way I can get the colors to really pop is by tilting the slab into the glare: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/n7Cu0VX.jpg?1[/IMG] which highlights the slab scratches, distorts the coin shape, and makes for an overexposed picture. If I position the slab so that it's out of the glare, none of the colors show up: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/XYTwaJK.jpg?1[/IMG] Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]
