<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 9288102, member: 25270&quot;]I can&#039;t figure out the trick to getting the lighting right when trying to take a picture of a coin. Normally I use the scanner and it works for most things, but when I have a really nice, uncirculated or proof coin, the scanner makes the surface look dull and you miss the impact of what the coin looks like in hand. I&#039;ve read that people use their phones for pictures and I try that, but I can&#039;t get the lighting right. If the light is above the coin then the phone gets in the way when taking the picture. Anywhere I put it, the color seems wrong and it&#039;s actually worse than a scan. I have an Android phone of no particular quality but I would think it could get the job done. What&#039;s the secret?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
