<p>[QUOTE=&quot;saltysam-1, post: 826442, member: 23368&quot;]I am trying to document my collection by adding an obverse and reverse photograph to each coin in my spreadsheet program. There are several ways to approach this. The best photograph out of a series, it could end up being&nbsp; an enhancement; One that is typical to the eye at an extension of approximately 18 inches and no more than 5x power; or one that shows up the negative features in the coin, so my heirs can more easily spot these problems. I would like to hear from others how they choose their pictures. Obviously the type of lighting plays a big part as well as the amount of it, plus the angle. Currently I&#039;m shooting with auto focus on and in super macro mode. I use a shadow box with my choice of one or two 50 watt Halogen floods. I take about 10 to 12 photos of each side while changing the angle of lighting. What is your recommendation for the type of shot to use? If you have other suggestions, please share them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
