[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 2789978, member: 77077"]I keep improving my photography set up. Right now I am playing with high CRI lighting (color rendering index). Using 90+ CRI lights allows the true colors of the coin to be reproduced in the photo much better than generic lights. This really helps with bronze coins, not as important with silver, but still makes a difference. The problem with getting better at taking photos is you keep wanting to go back and reshoot your whole collection each time you make a major improvement. :) I think this round I may decide they are good enough. :bear: I'd like to find some software that can crop and combine the obverse and reserve images into one image automatically. Not sure there is such a thing. That is the really manual and time consuming part of the whole process. Here is a thread I started about high CRI lighting with some before and after examples.
