[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 4118901, member: 77814"]I use a iPhone 6S. looking at your pictures it's your total technique, and not the phone. Try these few things next time: (1) Look at where your camera lens is, and put it DIRECTLY above the coin. Not to the side, not pointed at an angle, but DIRECTLY above. So the lens is pointing down to the middle of the coin. (2) Turn off the FLASH. Because the flash is also directly about the subject you get direct reflection back to the lens, which blow things out, etc (3) go to a well lite room. A very bright room. Then position yourself so that no Shadows are cast upon the subject (coin). Position yourself to the side, do not have the ceiling light directly above you, walk to the side/edge of a room so the light is coming from the side. Then position yourself and the camera so you do not create a shadow too. So the light is uninhibited to lighting the coin. Add more lights at a distance if needed. don't put a light right next to the coin. (4) Steady the phone. Motion blur is one of the major problems. So use as others have a can of soup or box to put the phone on. And learn to lightly push the button to take a picture, nothing to move the phone itself. (5) make sure your images are focused. Make sure it's not to close of which the camera cannot focus on. Start your images further away if needed and crop. You'll find your images will be much, much better. and we'll be able to see the difference too.[/QUOTE]
