<p>[QUOTE="Dj Shift, post: 1711808, member: 50289"]I would try a lower ISO and a higher aperature. Maybe a tripod too (you dont need to spend too much on a point and shoot tripod but i recommend getting an expensive one incase you ever plan on upgrading to DSLR) And i always shoot in RAW format (or NEF for Nikon) but that needs special programs to edit and convert (although it allows you to change your exposure compensation after the fact) but i'm not sure if your point and shoot has that depending on what kind it is. Also try some off-camera spot lighting or an external flash with a softener to avoid glares (again, i dont know what camera you're using so you might not be able to use an external flash but the off-camera spotlights will still be useable).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now i'll say, i haven't done too much coin photography... but i'm a professional automotive photographer so the advice should still apply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
