<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1116450, member: 17048"]Really nothing special. Just listening to the advice given here. You definately need to keep the camera steady. I bought a little tripod for like 10 bucks and that helps a lot. I notice that the bottom of the coins don't come out as good as the rest so maybe the tripod isn't perfectly level. I'll play with that. I have 2 desk lamps with Reveal bulbs. Aiming at 10 oclock and 2 oclock. I adjusted my white balance on the camera which can probably still get better but it made a huge difference. Its past midnight and I'm taking these pics with the artificial light and I can't wait to take them with natural light cause I think I have it figured out for the most part and that should make it even better. It definately is more difficult with smaller coins...that might be stretching the limits of my camera. But for a 4 year old point and shoot its not too bad after all! Some of my earlier pics were really bad compared to these. It is especially difficult to get the color right on toned coins but that Philippines half peso is nearly spot on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
