<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 4525495, member: 19463&quot;]I spent some time this afternoon trying to make a pretty picture of a not so pretty turtle.&nbsp; It is overly bright and high relief as are the owls shown here so glares seem inevitable.&nbsp; The point is whether you can place them where they do less damage.&nbsp; This Aegina stater has a serious die cud under the left swimming turtle so that had to be retained for accuracy.&nbsp; The coin also shows the beak which makes the type look better to me swimming left rather than up as we usually see.&nbsp; This coin seemed to do&nbsp; best when shot outside under overcast sky and it is too late now to try again today.&nbsp; Perhaps there will be another gray sky day soon so I can try again and correct what I don&#039;t care for here.&nbsp; Most coins do alright in artificial light but the combination of high relief and bright surfaces drove me outside.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1121132[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
