<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2523979, member: 19463&quot;]Any discussion will involve opinions.&nbsp; CT photo discussions will always cover backgrounds being black or white.&nbsp; I have shot many of both and some steps inbetween but always return to black as my personal choice. Your opinions will vary. I do suggest shooting on the background you choose rather than painting in the results. Shooting on white runs a risk of glare from the background lowering overall image contrast or messing up the color balance of some coins in ways that are hard to correct.&nbsp; Shooting on black sometimes tempts people to process the image with too much contrast.&nbsp; I suggest playing with all the options and seeing which one floats your boat.&nbsp; I do prefer to pick one and stick with it rather than cataloging your collection on a dozen different backgrounds.&nbsp; The coin is, after all, the subject. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]538521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
