[QUOTE="non_cents, post: 1710372, member: 30970"]Hi folks. :) I have long since struggled with obtaining decent full-coin shots of my small cents since I started collect about 3 years ago. So today, I thought I'd mess around and see what I can do. I didn't want to buy an expensive setup and camera (I'm on a limited budget) so I thought I'd try to find a cheaper solution. So lo and behold, I did. I achieved the photos I got using 2 magnifying lenses I found laying around, a Pentax P70 small point-and-shoot camera, and a little bit of basic cropping in a computer program. The whole process starting from setting up the lenses to the finished product is probably 2-3 minutes tops, which is great because I currently,don't have the patience for fancy background photoshops. ;)These pictures are far from perfect (I'm working on cutting the glare down, especially on the proofs), but let me know how they look. Thanks, Simon[/QUOTE]
