<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gavin Richardson, post: 2795161, member: 83956&quot;]I always have to ask myself just how much I alter a coin image in &quot;postproduction.&quot;&nbsp; For example, when I photograph silver coins, 100 W bulbs leave a kind of golden glare on them. I typically have to take the hue down about 20% to make silver look like silver. My rule of thumb is to try to make the coin look in the image like it does in my hand.&nbsp; So I have to use digital artifice to try to approximate reality. But I suppose that&#039;s true for any photographed image.&nbsp; The first time I took students to Rome, our Vatican guide was standing in front of Michelangelo&#039;s Pieta, and he told all the students to put away their cameras&nbsp; and look at the sculpture. &quot;The camera is a liar,&quot; he said. That has always stayed with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
