<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bzcollektor, post: 75657, member: 3241&quot;]I have an older Olympus D-510. It is only 2 MP. Macro is good, but I have run into the same problems with shadows ruining the shot when I get too close. I have tried using all sorts of lighting solutions. My answer is: back off till the shadows and reflections go away. Your digital pic WILL have enough information. You will need a photo editing software program. I used to have photoshop. I now use a free photo library program from GOOGLE called Picasa.</p><p>It allows basic lighting and crop features. Back off of your coin and take several pics. It takes a steady hand, and you may want to think tripod.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I have taken as many as a dozen pics of a single coin, just to get the right combination. You may want to zoom in, zoom out. Don`t expect to take just one or two shots. Use your photo-editing program to crop your pics. Picasa has an option to upload your crops to &quot;Your Pictures&quot; with several different pixel options (100x100, 400x400, etc)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
