Toned PL

This is one of my favorite Morgans. It's not a tough date or anything, but it's awesome to look at ...and another impossible one to shoot Any other colored up PLs out there to share?

...I've tried diffused, but still no go

 

Very pretty! I recall seeing it on IG.

 

yeah, I posted a few places, so I'm sure a few folks have seen it. Perhaps a few fresh eyes

 

Try shooting the images flat to the lens. Angle shots don't work.

 

Working on getting a dslr, so I'll keep that in mind. Appreciate it.

 

I love the way that PL surfaces can make toning *pop*. Unfortunately, it also makes them a beast to photograph. NGC MS-64PL, ex Dick Osburn (these photos by the excellent @robec ).

 

Thats an awesome coin man. Great capture of it.

 

Awesome coin!

Love it. A pl toner and a gold bean

 

In hand, her little sister is almost more impressive. NGC MS-66PL.

 

Wow, superlative coin.

 

Angle shots can work, but you have to move the camera around and pay attention to what is in you viewing window. If the glare is in the window, it will be in the photo.

 

Very nice looking coin, but photographs do not show it off.

 

Nice coin, for sure. I've had two or three toned PLs. I tend to take one picture set straight-on to show the mirrors, and a second set from an angle to show the toning, without the reflection from the slab. I'm sure the expert photographers here have refined this technique far more than this.
