<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 4004698, member: 82549&quot;]After reading Gavin Richardson&#039;s recent post where he mentioned using a cloth for the background of his coin photographs, (<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/macro-lens-for-iphone-coin-photography.353462/#post-3999506" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/macro-lens-for-iphone-coin-photography.353462/#post-3999506">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/macro-lens-for-iphone-coin-photography.353462/#post-3999506</a>) I decided to try an experiment. It&#039;s not particularly fair because I photographed one coin outside and the other two inside, but it&#039;ll have to do for now since it&#039;s cloudy and snowing, and the light is terrible for outside photography.</p><p><br /></p><p>I photographed the same Septimius Severus denarius against three different backgrounds. The first was photographed outdoors with my traditional (a.k.a.very old) black construction paper background--which usually comes out as a mottled gray in sunlight--the second was with a purple cloth background and the last with a light blue cloth background. Does anyone have a preference, and if so, why? Thanks for your thoughts.</p><p>Traditional:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1054399[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Purple cloth:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1054400[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Light blue cloth:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1054401[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I like the light blue cloth background and my wife prefers the traditional. Anyone interested in stirring up some mischief is welcome to try to get my wife and I arguing with each other![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
