[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1465247, member: 26030"]You know what would be a fun experiment ... have robec ship me his 1938 and 1953 posted above ... then I can take some iPhone photos under my skylights and see if they look more like the TrueViews or more like his shots. (Or perhaps I could find two different camera angles that would produce images on my end that looked like BOTH shots.) My gut feeling is robec's images and the trueviews posted above are BOTH completely spot on and accurate ... it's just 2 different lighting and viewing angles (and two different light sources/spectrums). I think what I have stumbled onto (sort of by accident) is a light source and setup where the light quality/spectrum mimics really closely what Phil has at PCGS when he shoots TrueViews. By the way I am NOT saying that Phil at PCGS TrueView uses indirect sunlight (or stands under skylights) when he shoots TrueViews ... I know for a fact he uses "very hot, artificial lighting" -- however for some odd reason I can ALWAYS capture a look under my skylights that nearly 100% matches the color and look that the PCGS TrueView captures.[/QUOTE]
