<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gbroke, post: 1430597, member: 22585&quot;]Ok, I&#039;ll give you my opinion whether you want it or not. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />These are my opinions, and some will certainly have a better way, or just disagree. There are many ways to do it. But in my experience, here is what I think you should consider:I have those exact small halogen lights. They came with a lightbox I ordered. Those suckers get crazy hot, and even start to melt the plastic casing. They also like to tip over. You know what I&#039;m saying Detecto! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />Anyway, they do wash out color. Getting the new lamps and bulbs changed everything. This did come out good. As you will certainly find out, all circulated silver coinage without luster will be the easiest ones to photograph. The light isnt reflecting within the devices and on the fields, so they always come out the best in most any lighting.First thing I notice is your reflection in the fields lol.&nbsp; You need to back the camera up, use more indirect lighting, and work with the brightness control on your camera. I can see your reflection, or possible the light itself, in this one. The lgihts are too close to the slab, or they are directly over it.. not sure, but I see something distracting. </p><p>For the color:</p><p>Try using indirect lighting, lower the brightness control on your camera. When you are editing the image in your software... Try adjusting brightness/contrast, or try &quot;auto-color&quot;. Remember though, adjust them to according how it looks in hand, not what you wished it looked like. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a quick adjustment to your Wheatie.</p><p>The first was auto color, and the second was brightness/contrast adjustment.</p><p>I have no idea which one represents your coin, but it&#039;s just to show as an example.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.thecoinnection.com/tempimages/tempdetecto.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
