aceman732 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 7:52 pm I have started messing around with my new camera and of course, want to use to snap some photos of my coins. Let me be the latest to say, it is harder than it looks. I am trying to get image as close to "in-hand" appearance as possible. I would welcome any feedback from the esteemed audience! EDIT: I have uploaded a better sized version and the reverse as well. Edited by aceman732 12/31/2007 3:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

aceman732 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 8:17 pm BTW--- I am using a Sony DSC-H3 8.1 Megapixel F 3.5 1/200 auto ISO setting I am using 2 GE 100 watt "Reveal" bulbs mounted at 10 and 2. My camera sits at about 8 inches from the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 12/30/2007 9:04 pm Not a bad first attempt, while balance looks pretty good. Your image size is too small. For this forum, I use full camera resolution, then use an image editor to take it to 800x600. That normally brings the file size to just under 100k. Don't be afraid to use zoom on your cam to fill the frame. I typically use between 2.8x and 1.8x depending on the distance from the camera. Keeping the camera back allows more light to get to the coin. Keep trying! You're off to a great start! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
