<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2598668, member: 77413&quot;]I have made some progress with the iPhone. Here are two photos of the same coin. The top image is &quot;before&quot;, the second one &quot;after&quot;. I took advantage of the advice above.</p><p><br /></p><p>The two main differences are both in the lighting. The Jansjo lights are in a more axial position above the coin. And I use a small strip of museum board to shim up the edge of the coin to better show the coloration. Both of these are shown above in post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-photography-set-up.229658/page-6#post-2594586" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-photography-set-up.229658/page-6#post-2594586">#102.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The angling of the coin helps remove the specular reflections on the face and right side of the bust. It also reveals the color of the surface better, instead of showing the coin as a flat brown. You can see that the fields above and below LIBERTY look dark and mottled in the first shot, but are actually subtle and attractive toning in the second.</p><p><br /></p><p>The photos do not have quite the resolution of the shots with a bellows, but I like the presentation and coloring for web use.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]566867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]566868[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
