<p>[QUOTE="AirborneReams, post: 4939376, member: 114853"]Hello all,</p><p><br /></p><p>I had made a purchase of an indian head which I am to believe is a red and if not a red-brown color. The issue is I took some pictures and after realizing they looked nothing like the sellers I was a bit shocked. I did only take these pictures very quickly with no basic editing or playing with my overhead light I use. My light has three settings. 1st is a white light the 2nd is another light similar to white but dimmer and the 3rd is almost a yellow. I know a lot of these cats have DSLRs with fancy lenses but I don’t and won’t for some time. I have my iPhone 11 and macro lense attachment and light source that is attached to neck the bends how you want. My if you look at both pictures you notice it instantly how much more appealing his is and how dull and lame mine are. The coin definitely looks more like his pictures in hand as well so it kind of shocked me my pictures aren’t anywhere near close. Can anyone give me some tips/advice on how to get that lighting or what to do to make these pictures pop a bit more. And I would never use the ones I took for my auction listings but I’m sure the color would be similar. I’m open to purchase some basic items as long as it’s budget friendly. Thank you in advance!
