Tbone, I've been looking through your ebay page and frankly it's amazing. I truly wish I could afford to obtain some of the coins you have for sale. I think I may not have truly understood what the original OP was about. You are still collecting? but just place what you have duplicates or lesser quality coins on your auctions? Is this correct? My point was only that if I was able to have coins such as these I wouldn't even be able to contemplate selling them. Obviously you do very well with your sales, the quality is fantastic and I looked through EVERY one you have up for sale over the last few hours. You've got astounding coins for sale, I wish I was able to purchase ALL of them. Good luck with them. |

SsuperDdave- I actually prefer the first photo example of your 1887 Morgan. It looks more natural to me than the second example, which appears too enhanced. When I look at a Morgan dollar, my eye is going to see it the way photo #1 shows it. By the way, I would like opinions on this contraption for photographing coins. It is $100 LESS than the photo dome, but it is much larger. I don't really want to spend $170.00 on the photo dome, but I'm still considering it because of its compact size and iphone bracket. Anyway here is a link for the Light Diffuser Mini Photo Studio: http://www.ebay.com/itm/19075443157....m1423.l2649Edited by Darth Morgan

Darth, that looks like a great set up. I think we will be trying one, the dome is a lot more and with the one you posted it appears that have changeable backgrounds which has been an issue with me going from silver to copper and the lighting differences. Thanks for that link!

grancap74, I sent you a PM with another link for a smaller and cheaper model. Please post pictures of your coins. I would like to see how they turn out. I'm trying to decide between this model and the Nimbus Cloud Dome, which is cheaper than the original cloud dome.

I can't wait to see those pics, Tbone! I'm leaning toward that model. If I go with it, I'll just need to buy some small LED light clips to add extra light if needed. The lightboxs by Sanoto look like they would be good too, but the light looks really bright. Here is the ebay link to one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/29092681077....m1423.l2649What do you think? |

Interesting, that looks like it would work well.

Tbone- did you get the cloud dome yet? Just wondering how the photos turned out.

I did. I haven't had a chance to fiddle with it a whole lot yet. Hopefully this weekend. I think I may need to be some kind of a macro lens to add to my phone to do a better job.

Well I finally got a chance to start experimenting with the nimbus cloud dome. Not too bad so far.   |

Did you take these outside? I have also seen where people have surrounded it with LED lights. Also, did you have to get a macro lens?

I did take them outside although it was pretty late in day so I'm going to take some more tomorrow when it's brighter. I haven't purchased a macro lens yet but I probably will.
