[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 3533176, member: 8959"]Thank you, everybody, for your comments. It is very helpful and also very encouraging. I'm not doing too bad, but could do better. Many of you commented on the Lighting: my [B]only[/B] source is natural sunlight, and the background is the off-white granite countertop on the window sill. Since the weather is whimsical, and you never know when the sun is going to come thru just right and for how long (specially in winter), I did explore working with lamps. I used for two IKEA flexible LED lamps (muted with taped tissue paper as per recommendations I read somewhere). The result was not good. Following your comments, however, I will look at this again, as well use of another background. I have the feeling I also need another camera. The coin I pictured actually has a slightly different tone on the obverse vs the reverse - coppers do come that way sometimes. Thanks again to everybody for your helpful and encouraging comments:).[/QUOTE]
