<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 24852539, member: 106826&quot;]Photo tips:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Choose a backing that is solid and a color that contrasts with the color of your specimen.&nbsp; This will help the camera sense/focus on the subject coin</li> <li>Find the best distance where your camera maintains a sharp image and where it fills the viewer with little magnification.&nbsp; This way you can enlarge areas when editing/cropping images</li> <li>Use lighting from multiple angles. This will reduce the shadows that can obscure details. Note, however, that in some instances, a single light source and angle could be desirable.&nbsp; For instance, on a worn coin (e.g., an almost dateless Buffalo) or a greaser like yours, an angled light might catch details with a shadow.</li> <li>Filters: white plastic bags, coffee filters can diffuse light to keep from creating glare, reflections, and hot spots</li> <li>Indirect lighting/reflecting light helps keep the light levels up but without the glare. </li> </ul><p>With time and experimentation you’ll capture the details you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
