<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 4609260, member: 112673"]There seems to be some misalignment with the point of this thread. It's about taking pictures of coins that actually look like the coin vs what most people see, or more importantly, can't see, when they view a coin "in hand", in average room light, with the various visual obstacles. If my opening failed to state it clearly, allow me to reiterate; the two are not the same. This is not about photographing what "buyers want to see", it's about capturing what the coin really looks like, for it's own sake. For those that say " an honest depiction is what buyers want to see" is true, I'm sure, but it's also somewhat ironic. My shots are actually the most honest depiction of the coin, but viewers can't possibly see it "in hand".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
