<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 4938815, member: 13307&quot;]Okay!</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Well, first of all - thank you all for your responses and feedback.&nbsp; It&#039;s always interesting to hear others&#039; point of view (it&#039;s more information, which is usually helpful.)</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve added three new sets of images and adjusted the poll.&nbsp; You are allowed to change your votes, add new votes, etc.&nbsp; (Or, if you are done, you are absolutely allowed to do <i>nothing</i>.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Just an FWIW:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>As I stated in the original post, I was just bored and playing around with trying out some different angles, focal lengths, lighting, etc.&nbsp; I wasn&#039;t specifically trying to get a &quot;100% accurate view of the entire coin,&quot; nor was I trying to find the best set of images to use to sell/show off a coin.&nbsp; Just playing/experimenting.&nbsp; </i></p><p><i><br /></i></p><p><i>It somewhat reminds me of my time in figure drawing class my first year of college. My instructor (a realist who preferred photorealistic drawings) sort of despised me - because I wasn&#039;t interested in recreating, more in interpreting/experimenting/playing around.&nbsp; That&#039;s what I was really doing here - trying to find an interesting way to image a coin, create a composition - and in that space it&#039;s okay to not light the entire surfaces of the coin.&nbsp; Now, I don&#039;t feel like I was doing anything groundbreaking at all, nothing super fringe - but just playing around the edges of what normal coin imaging entails.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>I still honestly prefer image set #1 - even if it&#039;s &quot;criminally underlit&quot; as [USER=19165]@physics-fan3.14[/USER] put it (which, I kind of feel is a bit of an overreaction, but maybe explaining the context of what I was trying to do above helps temper that.)&nbsp; I&#039;m not trying to hide anything or trick a potential buyer (the coin isn&#039;t for sale and I have no plans to do so at this time; I hadn&#039;t even thought about it.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, just playing around.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, all that being said, those of you who are still interested, feel free to share comments/feedback and/or edit your poll choices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
