<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roerbakmix, post: 4642368, member: 100731&quot;]As pointed out, many excellent threads on coin photography have been posted. I use axial photography, using a cheap led light from IKEA (€5); a nikon d3200 (second hand ~€100) and a Cosina macro lens (second hand ~€50).</p><p><br /></p><p>I use the basic photo editing program of Windows (&quot;photo&#039;s&quot;) for cropping and rotating and basic colour and contrast retouches until it looks &#039;as in hand&#039;. Then, I combine the photo&#039;s using a free, easy online tool:</p><p><a href="https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/combine-two-images-into-one.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/combine-two-images-into-one.php" rel="nofollow">https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/combine-two-images-into-one.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If the background is not nicely black (it usually is), I remove the background using a similar tool <a href="https://www.remove.bg/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.remove.bg/" rel="nofollow">https://www.remove.bg/</a>. It&#039;s free for low-ress downloads; high-ress is paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of examples:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147123[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147126[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147131[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147132[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147134[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1147135[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No background editing for these photo&#039;s: I use a very high aperture (f=22) with a very long exposure time (1.5 - 2.5 seconds). This is of course very much dependent on intensity of the light source.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
