[QUOTE="Sulla80, post: 4757729, member: 99456"][B]Edit:[/B] Step 1 - turn off the microscope light - I find these do not make effective coin photos. I changed two things between the photo on the left and the one on the right. [LIST] [*]LIGHTING: changing distance & angle, I moved the light to be less directly over the coin and a bit further away [*]EXPOSURE: I added the white strip of paper on the right of the coin in view to trick auto-exposure into being less bright (works differently than changing "brightness" on the camera app) [/LIST] I won't win any awards for photography - but at least improved. [ATTACH=full]1160809[/ATTACH] Working with ancients I don't often have a coin that shiny, but still need to think about the direction and distance and angle of lighting.
