[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 55224, member: 112"]There are many, many tricks of the trade when it comes to taking coin pics. And each one will provide something different in the image. The thing to remember is that you want your pic to be as close as possible to being like looking at the coin with it in your hand. Now when I say tricks of the trade - I don't mean that you try to trick somebody into seeing or not seeing something that is there or not there on the coin. I mean there are different methods - lighting angles, camera angles, types of light, camera settings etc etc. You can even take pics through sheets of glass tilted at an angle to reflect the colors a coin may have. Play with the camera - experiment - see what does what. Soon enough you'll gain the experience to be able to show others in your pics what you see with your eyes ;)[/QUOTE]
