[QUOTE="kanga, post: 1283331, member: 9270"]Focus looks good. I can suggest some things that will help improve your images: -- you need a "white" light source as others have mentioned; sunlight is good; I use an OTT-LITE with a "white" light bulb -- use a non-reflective black or dark gray background; you want the light your camera sees to be just from the coin; a white background can overpower the light reflected from the coin; this is particularly true when imaging copper coins -- use a camera stand (better than a tripod) for steadiness and a remote shutter release.[/QUOTE]
