<p>[QUOTE="dcarr, post: 2168882, member: 4781"]My camera tends to make lusterous coins look more "pebbled" than they really are. That is where I notice the point-light overemphasis, which seems to be the case with most or all digital cameras. I haven't been able to take a picture that I actually like of one of these coins. Matte-finish coins seem a lot easier to get a good picture of. Your picture is better than any of mine when using a fully brilliant piece. But for the picture I posted here, the coin I used was dulled by light handling before I took the picture, and so that is why I said it perhaps looked more "natural" (but others may disagree with that).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
