<p>[QUOTE="1970 Silver Art, post: 924879, member: 18828"]The pictures of the merc dime are very good IMO and I noticed that the detail of the pic is much better. I guess that the tripod helps. With silver it is sometimes hard to get the exact "true" look when taking outside pics because if there is too much light, then it will create a shine that will not show all of its detail. If there is not enough light outside, then the silver will not look like it has any luster. </p><p> </p><p>I would say to continue to more pictures for practice. Take a few more pics outside with the coin at different angles. It's ok to mess up. When I take pictures of some of my bars, I do not get it right the first time around. When I look at the pics that I took the first time around, I end up not liking them and I end up deleting them from my camera and re-taking the pictures.

Sometimes you have to practice taking pics of your coins to develop a "feel" for what the coin should look like. The picture of a coin that shows luster along with the details can be hard to do sometimes and it might take several shots to get it to where you feel that it looks right. I still think the pictures look very good and the tripod probably improved the picture taking.[/QUOTE]
