<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1513883, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1915 Matte Proof Lincoln. </b>&nbsp; Just got this in the mail on Friday.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pretty cool color on this one -- a mix of teal green, olive green, gold, and deep maroon.&nbsp;&nbsp; But I also stumbled into a cool new photograpic technique.&nbsp; I shot this with my iPhone next to an east facing window in the early afternoon (around 1pm or so).&nbsp; &nbsp; The window was inches to my right, the slab tilted towards the right to catch the indirect sunlight wafting though the window, and the iPhone camera was pointing straight down towards the wood floor in my office.&nbsp; Apparently there was enough indirect sunlight reflecting off the slab that my iPhone camera aperture closed enough that it caused my wood floor &quot;background&quot; to appear nearly black (like my room was dark, which it wasn&#039;t).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; And since my thumb was not reflecting very much light either, it appears kind of dark as well (even though my office was well lit by 2 windows). Note that I didn&#039;t &quot;Photoshop&quot; this, making the background black, this is the way the raw image turned out.&nbsp; &nbsp; Stumbling onto this photographic technique was a pure accident! In any case, I think this looks really cool. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/1915_IP_Slab_O.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
