<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 2144893, member: 15445&quot;]There are several good threads at CT describing how to take good coin photos.&nbsp; There was one thread started by Lehigh where everyone submitted their best photo using their phone&#039;s camera function.&nbsp; Search &quot;photography&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]410791[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some basic instructions:</p><p><br /></p><p>Set your camera for the type of lighting you are using.&nbsp; This will help make the photo match the true color of the coin being photographed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Use a couple of the same lamps (Don&#039;t mix sunlight with Florescent with incandescent, etc).</p><p><br /></p><p>Set the camera to Macro so that you can get the camera close to the coin &amp; achieve good focus.&nbsp; Basically get the camera as close to the coin as you can &amp; still focus.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Set the camera to 2-second delay.&nbsp; This will help you to hold the camera steady at the instant that the camera takes the picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit the resulting photo with a photo editing program to crop-out unwanted background &amp; possibly do some color/brightness/contrast adjustments.&nbsp; The goal is to make the photo look like the coin. (The goal should not be to make the photo look better than the coin).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
