<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2386448, member: 36230&quot;]I cannot honestly say that I&#039;ve much experience imaging coins with phone cameras, but some are certainly able to get nice results using them. Of course much depends on the phone/camera, but as with actual cameras, a few things that may help are to be sure your phone is as steady as possible then shooting. Depending on the design and lens location, perhaps try to rig the functional equivalent of a tripod (stack of books, small table, whatever works). You also want to get the &quot;right&quot; amount if light onto the coin. I realize this is vague, but you want enough to properly illuminate the coin but not so much that it washes it out. Two lamps positioned at 10 and 2 should make for a decent start, but it&#039;s fine to move them when/if you find it beneficial or necessary. Stay close to the coin, but not too close, and be sure the phone is focusing on the coin as opposed to the background. Does your phone, perchance, have a macro setting? </p><p><br /></p><p>Your photos aren&#039;t that bad, so please don&#039;t get me wrong. In fact they&#039;re a lot better than some we see here, but for the purpose at hand, the better the photo you can post, the better the information you&#039;re likely to receive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
