Jerry_B Valued Member Canada 453 Posts	Posted 11/28/2012 8:53 pm Gotta love 24mp! And no worries of film usage! Looks like some of the pics used a single harsh light source - they look great. I'm inspired to go beyond my $100 Kodak. Thanks for posting these. (Back in the old days, I had a K1000) Report this Post to the Staff

ford_prefect Valued Member Australia 90 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 7:45 pm Correct your White Balance and you are almost there. Either correct it in your camera or via Photoscapr. The camera's Auto setting is Not picking the correct balance Your coin corrected in Photoscape Report this Post to the Staff
robster Pillar of the Community Australia 674 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 8:00 pm Thanks for the hint, trying several different backgrounds- black next.!! Report this Post to the Staff
ford_prefect Valued Member Australia 90 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 8:28 pm Test all backgrounds, subtle colour change will be noticed. Don't use flecky backgrounds (Like on your '31 florin) Make a collage so you can view side by side. Same coin same lighting Different backing. 1) Clear acrylic 2) Light Grey 3) Light Blue 4) Black The almost neutral Light Grey backing reproduces the coin in hand look. Report this Post to the Staff

ford_prefect Valued Member Australia 90 Posts	Posted 11/30/2012 04:36 am The halfpenny Test Ref Sheet was created for my Canon Powershot SX130IS A fully auto, or fully manual, or fully programeable. Macro can be set for auto or manual. Lens is a Fixed Canon Zoom. A very versatile Point and Shoot. The camera You use is the important thing. Get the White Balance First. Have the Light Selection suitable for camera sensor. Some cameras prefer Halogen, others Compact Flouro and others LED. The cameras I have used have worked best with Flouro and LED have not had much luck with Halogen. Price paid for a camera doesn't seem to matter either The shot below is a collage taken with :- A $20 Plastic Lens Sanyo & My now ageing 5mp LZ1 Panasonic (7 years old) The Sanyo is full Auto, the Panasonic Manual White Balance.
