[QUOTE="Ancientnoob, post: 2164345, member: 44140"]My usual procedure for taking a coin photo with the phone is. I lay the coin if it is bronze or toned silvery on blue card stock. If the coin is bright silver I put it on black or grey. I have a regular fluorescent light with a posable neck and a soft incandescent over my head in the room. I move the coin around my available area Turning it getting my desired look and right amount of light. Here is the trick- This phone takes a second to really adjust everything. I put it on automatic with no flash. When I actually take the picture I hunch over the coin, place it at the orientation I want just outside the shadow the phone casts, and tap the subject finder on the screen I give it a couple seconds and boom. I adjust brightness and contrast later.[/QUOTE]
