<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 24705090, member: 5233&quot;]So, I have been trying to get better at taking coin photos.&nbsp; I am using a pair of LED desk lights, typically at 10 o&#039;clock and 2 o&#039;clock relative to the coin.&nbsp; The coin is kept in it&#039;s slab/air tite but a raw coin is placed under one of the edges to give it a very slight angle so light reflects off it better.&nbsp; I&#039;m also using a piece of white paper at 6 o&#039;clock to help reflect the light back at the coin so it doesn&#039;t appear overly illuminated in one direction.</p><p><br /></p><p>The camera I am using is a Canon EOS R with a 100mm Macro lens.&nbsp; I have been taking photos at f/6.3 with a iso of 100.&nbsp; I adjust the shutter speed to ensure I get a proper exposure.&nbsp; The camera is on a heavy duty tripod about a foot off the coin and pointed downwards at 90 degrees.&nbsp; I use a 10 second timer when I take the photo to ensure that no movement occurs when the images is taken.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some examples.&nbsp; Up first is the same coin twice taken in different ways.&nbsp; The first photo I took a couple weeks ago and the second I took today.&nbsp; The second photo has increased angulation of the coin.&nbsp; I&#039;m curious which you guys like better.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that is a sampling of a few coins from my collection which I photographed today just to practice.&nbsp; I would love some critiques of these images to help me improve my photography.&nbsp; Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, I even included a nickel for our friend [USER=15309]@Lehigh96[/USER] </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/YdLDWl2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/AWfnflX.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/le8q6Dz.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/V8n9ZP2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/QNveBI1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/tSONdfD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
