ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 9:18 pm My happiness comes in shades of content. I'm glad to make small steps but I'm no where near being happy with what I'm getting. xD Another album: http://imgur.com/a/MYG6N Report this Post to the Staff
ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 08:22 am The more I mull it over the more I think I need to take a scientific approach in an attempt to improve. It seems like either I need to make a drastic change or I'm already at 90% and as is typical the last 10% will take a long time to squeeze out. Report this Post to the Staff

ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 4:25 pm Played with some postproccessing in photoshop. Modified the color ever so slightly. Upped the contrast and downed the brightness to level things out. Still very far from ideal but I think I've improved a bit. I really need to work on lighting and color. I'm still not getting good focus in the 2:00 area and the lower 1/3 of my coins still tend to be a bit dark due to 10-2 light positioning. Report this Post to the Staff

Bringing them up will make the lighting more even...Ray Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/18/2012 4:46 pm As I recall I had them as high as possible. I haven't toyed much with working distance. These are just under 1000X1000 pixels after crop and 50% reduction. I need to figure out proper working distances for each coin accounting for reductions to land in the 750-800 pixel size for each coin size. Maybe that will give me enough room.
