Nice shots Leeg. What lens were you using?

 

Tamron 90mm Lens.

How close to coin where you? It looks like you were only 2-4 inches away.

 

very nice photos

 

That lens is awesome!:hail:

 

Thanks for the photos. I too am planning on purchasing the D3000. Now I know for certain.

 

Great close ups!!

 

Leeg, can you tell me which type of lighting (bulb) you're using, how many lights, and are you on a copy stand?

I think your photos are absolutely AMAZING!!! I strive to get photos that good some day.

Thanks for the kind words. The lens was about eight inches above the coin. I prefer two 13W Ott-Lites and I use a copy stand. Thinking about getting another 13W Ott-Lite. Any light will do as long as your white balance is correct.

Professional grade pics for sure!

How far away from the coin is the light? And do you diffuse the light or is it raw?

You may want to look at the Pentax DSLR'S. Brighter and clearer viewfinder. Best bang for the buck.

 

Very nice pics! Thanks for putting me on to the ott-light. I'm always looking at lighting for coin photos and these look great.

The lights are about six inches from the coin. No diffused lighting used.

Whoa! Six inches..that's close. But hey, you can't argue with results

Your pictures look like you have been doing numismatic photography for years...fantastic.
