[QUOTE="goossen, post: 4641795, member: 1545"]The world would be such a better place if more people would get this. :) Coming back to the topic, my setup: - iPhone X - Daylight (makes A LOT of difference) - Put the phone on a jar or something where you can keep it still. This will function as a tripod. - Use the EarPods as remote shutter. - Edit with GIMP. Probably not auction grade, but I'm quite happy with this one for example: [ATTACH=full]1147051[/ATTACH] And of course, practice. If you see my website there are many shots I'm not proud of, but I'm slowly replacing them with better pictures. Shinny coins are more difficult to shot than matte ones. What also helps is to have a solid, not reflecting, contrasting background. I use white background for brass, copper, and zinc coins and black or dark colour for silver, nickel, aluminum coins. I hope it makes sense.[/QUOTE]
