<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1163390, member: 13307&quot;]EyeEatWheaties - I agree with your point that different coins should get different styled photos.&nbsp; I can appreciate the desire for a &quot;consistency&quot; of imaging for a major business - not only does it make the customer feel like the business is organized, but it makes the photo capturing process a lot simpler, faster, and cheaper - the mantra of most American businesses.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, as we all know, different coins have different needs (photographically.)&nbsp; I had a 1948 Canadian dime that was like holding a star in your hand...and no matter what I tried (although, to be honest, the technology I was using at the time was rather primitive) I could not even begin to approach an accurate photographic representation of the coin in hand.&nbsp; I will agree that the original coin photo in this thread was at first glance nice, but lacking in &quot;something.&quot;&nbsp; IMO, the image was a little fuzzy and the contrast btw fields and details wasn&#039;t as good as it could be.&nbsp; I feel that most great coin images I&#039;ve seen had some sort of symmetry applied to the luster/contrast depiction - which is probably a result of light placement.&nbsp; I feel with high-quality coins like this, I would opt for symmetry in the photo.&nbsp; Would you?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thoughts?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
