<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1985115, member: 112&quot;]A lot of folks seem to think that when you look at a picture of a toned coin that the coin is going to look exactly like that when you see it in hand. And yeah, it can - with &quot;can&quot; being the operative word. But for it to look exactly like that picture you&#039;re going to have to view it with similar lighting and from the exact same angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cameras are no different than your eyes in what they see. The difference is that cameras capture images from a given moment in time, a tiny fraction of a second. Think of it as a single frame from a video. While your eyes (actually your brain) capture more of a video clip. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s why things like luster, think of the cartwheel effect, and toning, cartwheel effect applies here too only with various colors, appear as they do when coins are viewed in hand.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]354451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]354452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]354453[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]354454[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Same coin, my pictures, same camera settings, no photo editing. The only difference was a tiny change in the angle between the lights, camera, and coin. That&#039;s all that is required to get such drastically different results.</p><p><br /></p><p>But these weren&#039;t just 2 pictures either. They picked from a group of about 50 pictures I took of the same coin, all at the same time, and all with tiny little changes in angles. Angles were the only change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now honestly, I think the OP&#039;s seller&#039;s pictures had help. I don&#039;t think that coin would look that way, no matter what the angle and lighting was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
