[QUOTE="lkeigwin, post: 1442645, member: 30400"]WL, I respect your efforts and opinions. And I think Phil does a good job with most Trueviews. But it's my feeling that a photo should look like the coin at a normal viewing angle under ordinary light, and that tilting for extreme colors is misleading. It certainly would anger me to buy a coin based on images with spectacular colors only to find it didn't look like the photos unless I angled it and caught the perfect light. If I were you I'd redouble my efforts at photography. What many people don't realize is that camera captures data, manipulates it automatically (exposure, color, sharpness, contrast, etc.), and presents the user with what the camera thinks is a good likeness. Almost all photos require adjustments to make the final image correct. I do not find shooting through slabs a problem. Glare is never an issue or something is being done poorly. The only downsides to shooting through holders are the occasional scratch that can't be polished out, and trendy prong holders that clip some of the coin. To keep this topical, here is a recent purchase. The coin looks like this and color is not enhanced. Lance.
