<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1057014, member: 19065&quot;]Photographing or scanning a coin is only the first part of getting an image on CT. You may also want to host your image on Photobucket (free accounts) for instance or use any other image hosting site you prefer. CT&#039;s image capabilities are rather limited and I suggest you use another site so you have better control over your image content.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have a simple camera without macro capabilities and you also have a loupe, magnifying glass or microscope, you can try holding the loupe directly in front of the camera lens and steady the camera in your other hand while taking a photo of small objects under magnification. This is very jerry-rigged approach but it can help increase your lens capability a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>Check out this thread: <b><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=114269&amp;pagenumber=" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=114269&amp;pagenumber=">Cheap Coin Photography</a></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>There are limitless threads on CT about coin photography: what type of cameras people use, tips and tricks, books to buy, those who use microscopes and how they achieve special lighting... just run an Advanced Search on CT and read to your hearts delight!</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many many threads to read up on, here are just a couple:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=94333&amp;pagenumber=" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=94333&amp;pagenumber=">Numismatography</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=56246&amp;pagenumber=" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/showthread.php?t=56246&amp;pagenumber=">Diffused Lighting Coin Photography (Capture the Color)</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
