<p>[QUOTE="taxisteve929, post: 2048926, member: 34222"]Thanks a lot folks! Appreciate the comments and link I will check out. The one things I have to say about that photo though is that the light and toning make it look different than it is...it does follow the shape of the 7 exactly, but it looks a lot like the DDD (die deterioration doubling) I saw photos of, making it pretty much just something to look at. So much better in hand. Also shot that with a flash. Take any coin, and photograph it under a light and have the coin on a book or something on an angle, and take 4 shots with quarter turns. After, reorient the photos so they are all the same, ie obverse, head facing same direction....Crop and resize the photos so they are equal and then put them in a folder and show them as a slide show. Everything moves around. Scratches disappear. (when running the same direction as the light source) But things like the eyes on one will look beady, and the other enormous. Why I don't like using photos, well bad photos anyway. I'm sure there is a way to shoot errors, and it probably involves a ring light, or 3 directional light source. Looking forward to checking out the article!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
