Reshoots of my first two coins

Needed to take photos of the fragile patina coin before I sealed it away forever in its 2x2, then I thought I should reshoot a few other coins I had. Here are new photos of my first-ever two ancient coins (I bought them at the same time).

Gallienus, Rome mint (new photos are top; old are bottom)





Constantine II as Caesar, Thessalonika mint

Much much better, nice pics VK.

 

Thanks Aidan!

 

Better images. I'm a terrible photographer, but these look good to me.

 

Thanks bing! The old photos were from when I was just starting to photograph coins, so I feel I've come a long way.

 

Nice improvement VK. Taking good pictures of my coins is a daily struggle of mine.

 

Excellent images, well-done!

 

you know, i've been thinking about reshooting several of my old coins. i've edited and touched up many, but some deserve a second go. i'll be on the wagon for a month, after i posted my most recent coins i think i'll reshoot a few myself.

so VK, what is different about how you photographed them? do you have better equipment now? more skill at taking picks or editing?

 

sweet new background, Jango => looks tough!!

 

your doing better than me, i keep trying new things but not getting any better. these new pic's turned out great Jeff.
