spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/15/2024 03:13 am The '62 is the best overall of those new pics and is a marked improvement over the first BU cent in this thread. However, the reverse of the '62 is a bit dark, particularly in the TED area. Did you use the same light setup for obverse and reverse pics?

Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 10/16/2024 3:01 pm Yes it was the same lighting setup for those shots. Just flipped and picked a consistent rotation between coins for the obverse and reverse. I went back and changed things up a tad more to try and get more brightness and will be posting those images later. So far this method of lighting is doing what I want. I'm curious to know if others would be interested in learning how I choose to do my lighting. I've Been half tempted to make a little YouTube video or do a write up to explain it all. Because it's seems to be more concept based than anything. It could probably be done with what most have on hand. Edited by Decaf94drew 10/16/2024 3:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Lighting is the least obvious aspect of coin photography, partly because it has to be tailored to the coin being photographed. Quote: Using Trueview as a comparison ideal is really not much of a standard. What should it be, then? My primary beef with Trueview is the apparent obsession with toning.

Decaf94drew Valued Member United States 388 Posts	Posted 10/18/2024 12:55 pm Instead of having a massive block of text and photos I figured it may just be easier to record video to show how I like shooting my coins. I posted the video to YouTube just now. Here is the link w_fzwkfO8IA Report this Post to the Staff
