Proof Jefferson

I picked this up a while back at a show, but never got around to posting it. Also, I wanted to try taking a good picture, which I had never done before. I think I got it kind of. The spots in the picture are just dust. Tell me what you think.

Nice Clean Nickel!

 

Nice Coin. You need to adjust the White Balance to correct the color.

 

How do I do that?

 

Try sticking the 2X2 between the keys on your key board so it sits vertical and shoot your shots this way.

Nice 57 proof.

looks like a good strong strike too

 

Alright. I changed the white balance and here are the new pictures:

 

What do you guys think?

 

You may want to look at your camera's manual to see if you CAN adjust the White Balance. Some of the fully automatic click and shoot cameras will not allow you to adjust the White Balance. If not try to us as much natural sunlight as possible. This picture looks like you used an incandescent light as your source. If you camera is a click and shoot with auto focus your only recourse I am aware is to use more natural light.

Still nice coin

 

I changed the white balance on my computer, not on the camera. I think it turned out alright.

 

Need to adjust camera or play with the software a little more - You are now on the red side

 

I'm not sure what you mean by that...

 

Is this closer?

 

Nice coin! :thumb: Is it blast white in hand?

Phoenix

 

Yeah. At least I think it is, but I can't be sure because it's always reflecting another color... There is no toning on it to answer your question.
