[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 8274599, member: 106826"]Looks like a couple nice LWCs mixed in there. FYI, using flash usually washes out the photo of your coin. Have some fun and play around with setups and lighting to achieve the shots you desire. Here are a few ideas. [LIST] [*]Set your phone's camera at the most optimal distance when taking a picture. A point where you use minimal zoom where you don't pixelate the shot. [*]Find a heavy object that sets this distance, where you can rest/hold the phone securely and without vibration [*]Use multipoints of light to minimize shadows while being careful not to create glare to washout aspects you are trying to draw attention too. [*]Use your phones cropping feature to reduce the background clutter and use an appropriate backing to help train your phone's camera on the subject and not the background. [*]When looking for an attribution, take photos of the markers listed at various sites online to help fellow enthusiasts to confirm your find. [/LIST][/QUOTE]
