[QUOTE="brg5658, post: 1876695, member: 29751"]Whatever. More baseless nonsense. The piece you seem to not understand is that a straight-on image is a function of the lights used to create it. The angle of the lights to the coin (low vs. high) is just as good as tilting a coin in the light to bring out certain characteristics. When you roll a coin around in the light in your hand, that's because it's easier than moving the sun in the sky or moving the light source. Just because no single image can show everything about a coin, doesn't mean there can't be one optimal view for consistent viewing. No single photograph can show everything there is about a person either...that doesn't mean that it's not optimal to have a standard portrait face shot instead of a picture of the person's foot. No single photograph can show everything there is about a car either...that doesn't mean that a standard side view of the car isn't optimal to a picture of the undercarriage. This will be my last post in this thread, as I'm tired of trying to explain logic to the self-proclaimed CT oracle.[/QUOTE]
