<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 8009300, member: 19463&quot;]Today a video was posted to You Tube showing excellent still photos magnified considerably and &#039;zoomed in&#039; on small sections while panning around the image.&nbsp; I found that very effective compared to the usual wiggling of a whole coin in hand or floating in space as some dealers have started offering as part of their auction listings.&nbsp; I have do many tightly cropped images of sections of coins for one reason or another but I have not transferred these to video as done here.&nbsp; It is something I may want to try.&nbsp; Of course starting with great coins and state of the art photo equipment helps a lot. </p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]fPgKQYU8DA0[/MEDIA]</p><p><br /></p><p>No web resource like Coin coin talk can allow whole coin images in size great enough to achieve this full effect but we can shoot close parts and remind viewers to click on the image to enlarge and move the section showing around themselves.&nbsp; It is a good idea and new to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few of my old photos showing parts of coins are below.&nbsp; Add yours and add a note on why this part of the coin deserved &quot;zooming in&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two sections of a fourree Alexander III tetradrachm:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389573[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A countermark and section of the stater that bears it:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389574[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The head of a goat from an RR denarius:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389575[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Faces from satyr and nymph of Thasos:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389577[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>TI from a Tribute Penny showing the characteristic way the T was made with a notch in the top:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389578[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>A falling horseman struggling to regain his feet:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389579[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Detail of a shield of Probus:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389580[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Year date 34 over 33 on a tetradrachm of Ptolemy II:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1389581[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>These were all taken with my older (lower resolution) camera.&nbsp; Now that I am not adding coins to my collection, perhaps I will have more time to &#039;play&#039; with the others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
