<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tmoneyeagles, post: 770151, member: 17557&quot;]As you all know, I always try and make my photo skills as good as they can be, and I feel that I have improved over the last year.</p><p>I recently bought a coin from our own Lehigh96, it is a 1945-D PCGS MS66 Omaha Bank Hoard Jefferson Nickel. </p><p>I am getting more and more interested in Jefferson Nickels, after stating many times that I do hate the design, and they bring out my &quot;tough guy persona&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>But, I love how these things tone, and I think that these are so beautiful when they are in fact, toned.</p><p>Lehigh&#039;s Policy when you buy a coin from him, is very simply. Once you buy it, the pictures and descriptions are yours. I was very excited about getting his pictures, as I was having problems with the smaller coins, and I was getting better and better with photographing the bigger coins (Morgans)</p><p>Here are Paul&#039;s Pictures:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/1945-DPCGSMS66OmahaBankHoardJeff-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>While I like Paul&#039;s photos on this coin, parts of the coin seem to be &quot;fuzzy&quot; almost like the coin is dusty. The toning shows well in these photos, but it is almost like the coin appears to be brighter in hand. The coin appears to have less of that gold that you can see near the middle of the coin, in hand it looks more of a peach.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought about everything I have learned about taking photographing, whether it be from Paul, Krispy, or anybody else who has really helped me out with photos, and I did think of one thing that I may be over looking. I was always in a very well lighted room.</p><p>Tonight, I decided to turn off all the lights, whether it be the light on the ceiling, or even my monitor, and focus on the coin with three lights.</p><p>I think I got some pretty good shots of the coin, and I wanted to know what y&#039;all thought, and if there was anything that you could suggest.</p><p>Here are my photos;</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i605.photobucket.com/albums/tt136/tmoneyagles_coins/1945-DPCGSMS66OBH.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think my photos clear up some of the fuzziness, shown in Paul&#039;s photos, and show less of that gold tone and more of the peach tone, which is better seen in hand. It doesn&#039;t show the luster, as good as Paul&#039;s, and I think it shows the details about the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, I think if time came to sell, I think I might use my photo. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>(But I would show Paul&#039;s picture in the auction/listing for sure, so the buyer could get an idea of what they are getting)</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, thanks for your time! And any and all comments and criticism will be accepted :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
