[QUOTE="Black Friar, post: 5391899, member: 76221"]Some really fine posts on the always difficult process of numismatic photography. My goal when selling is to give the purchaser the reassurance that what the photo shows they will receive in hand. Glamour shots, which I love, is for me. Reality of the coin in hand is best for the purchaser of the coin. Some coins drive me crazy and seem to defy my attempts. They are usually very small bronzes. Each coin deserves our respect, never stop trying to improve ones skills. The Alex III has beautiful in hand with some really toning. The photo plays with lighting for my person [I]viewing pleasure[/I]. Notice the Constantius II photos of the same coin, same camera. The Alex III was taken with my old D 10, I upgraded recently to a D 70. The two Constantius II photos were taken with a Sony Mavica, the first digital camera I purchased in 2000. Considering the times it did a good job. I am always looking for the "perfect" process but, each coin is different. Just have some fun.[/QUOTE]
