[QUOTE="zumbly, post: 2880728, member: 57495"]Nice... I always like when a picture captures a coin's colour accurately. I've gone the opposite the direction with my coin photography. Since about six months ago, I've stopped trying to take pictures of my coins in sunlight. It was just too frustrating hoping to catch the right light conditions for photography, and in any case, night time is when I'm usually more free to fiddle with my coins and camera :). It's still a bit hit and miss, and I have a lot of laziness to overcome regarding getting a proper lighting set up, but so far I'm fairly pleased with how most of my pictures have been turning out. I was happy with my old natural sunlight pic of this Max II follis, but the actual tone of the silvering is not quite as yellow. [ATTACH=full]690437[/ATTACH] These, just taken with no natural lighting, show the colour of the coin and its general look more accurately. [ATTACH=full]690438[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
