<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2280608, member: 23368"]Has anyone tried to do this yet? I received my silver bullion Britannia yesterday and I find this item almost impossible to photograph correctly. It has what what I call a crackled finish in all the fields. Very similar to what our mint put on the fields of the erupting volcano on the 5 oz. Hawaiian proof bullion. It's playing havoc with my light sources and producing an exaggerated cartwheeling affect across my bullion image. I have tried several different degrees of Kalvin temperatures and lighting at various angles, source quantities and intensity. I photographed at extremely slow speeds and up to 1/100 of a second. I have played with the f stop settings as well. The only thing I haven't tried is natural sunlight. I plan to try this tomorrow. Anyone have some qualified ideas? My light tent hasn't helped although diffused lighting gives me better results. I'm using an Olympus C-5060 in macro mode with a wide angle lens at about 2 1/2 inches.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
