<p>[QUOTE="adric22, post: 1511513, member: 38146"]Just wondering if anyone has any tips on taking photographs of coins? I'm not trying to sell any of them (at least not until I retire 30 some-odd-years from now) but I just want to take neat pictures. I've tried scanning the coins and while it does show a lot of detail and very good focus, the pictures just don't look very exciting. In fact they are very dull and boring. I've tried using a digital camera at various angles under various lighting conditions, both with and without a flash. I just haven't been impressed with anything yet. I'm posting a photo below, and it is the best picture I've managed so far and I'm still not really happy with it. This particular photo was actually taken with my iphone using a Pro-HDR application to enhance the dynamic range. I do not own any sort of fancy SLR camera or anything. All I have are my iPhone and a pocket-sized Canon digital camera. </p><p><img src="http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk277/adric22/cleaned-coins.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
