How Do I Photograph The Reflection On A Proof Like Morgan?

Bonus points if you can do it when the coin is in a slab.

Things are getting a bit better.

ford-prefect, I used the f8, and 400 ISO. It has definitely helped, thanks. The focus is better. Need to work with reverse more, it's not as reflective as the obverse. Less fingers too , and still need to buy the white microfiber cloth. I kinda like the black platform, the Morgan shows up nicely against it.

That's a really cool effect. I will probably try something like that just to see what it looks like. Haven't tried the manual focus yet, it's on the list.

If you look at the first pic in my last post, both the print and coin are basically in focus, a definite improvement from original pic. I'm sure I can do better. The suggestion from ford-prefect of going to manual mode and adjusting the ISO and f stop definitely improved it. I've also seen some nice pics of what I'm trying to do. Others have done it, now I just need to figure out how to maximize my little camera's potential. A lot has to do with lighting, angles, and the subject matter being reflected. A work in progress....

....this is a nice coin. I've even thought about buying a better camera just to photograph this coin. A nice photo could easily pay for the camera at selling time, imo.

That's pretty darn cool, barryg.

I really like the effect. Inconclusive about the length of the mirrors, but in conjunction with a shot of the coin itself it will certainly get the point across.
