Looking good, but I think there is room for improvement. Dcam's are hard to shoot! I having issues too. I took like 100 photos all night (last night), and I'm kinda burned out right now. Only thing I managed to do tonight was crop a ton of pics in Lightroom while listening to AMC "The Killing". My lighting is still mediocre I think. non-slabbed pics seem alot easier, I dont think too many people would disagree. Check this cent I found in a bank roll. 1957 canadian, looks amazing MS in hand with a ton of luster, no idea the actual grade. Dont know how this survived looking so nice in circulation. I'm gonna keep practicing!
Here is a technique you might want to try with your slabbed proof coins. First, take a piece of drafting paper (velum or other translucent tracing paper) and form it into a tube. The tube might be something like 11" tall x 6" diameter. Place the slab at the bottom of the tube & shoot your camera down the tube. You can shine a couple lamps on the side of the tube which will nicely illuminate the coin's devices. Sorry I don't have a better picture depicting the set-up.
I'm married, so that's why I spend so much time doing coin related things. I do like your idea about getting a girlfriend though. I'll see what I can do.
Not a good idea about getting a girlfriend if you already have a wife. Wives tend not to like that kind of thing and they become ex-wives. Often when that happens they suddenly discover they love your coins too. You wind up with no wife, no coins, no money, and because of that last one, no girlfriend. Keep your coins, put up with your wife, and count your blessings.
Thanks!!! Here's another one. Picture is color accurate. The coin really is toned that nice deep champagne color. Not sure if it's ugly or amazing, but thought I would share.
As long as it's okay with the wife, I won't judge. I will judge though if she doesn't know about a new girlfriend. :thumb:
