Do you prefer one of these photos over the others? The only adjustments I made to the raw photographs were cropping and reducing file size to 300KB. (I'm still working on my focusing problem...) Thanks!     |

All look good.
Which one matches the coin's color best?

I like the last one. Looks sharper. Maybe mere sharpening?

If I were picking only one, it would be #2.

I like the 2nd photo. The letters are more clearly defined, probably from a better lighting angle.

Thank you! Your feedback is extremely helpful to this neophyte coin photographer.  #2 looks the most like the coin in hand. Now if I can only remember what I did differently for that one... ~~~ Mark's Entish self: "You should write down the lighting conditions for each of these photos."

I also posted pics of this coin (1910-S) in the Modern Coin Grading forum and have received some great feedback. (My grade was way off...  ... and I'm learning a ton! ) |

Mark...why did you save these as .gif images? Gif is low res from color perspective.

I would use the 2nd lighting if it shows actual color better. Just make it larger. I noticed the nicks and scratches are easier to see in 1st pic. This could be because of pic size.

Probably because it's the default on Lunapic, which I was using because I like their circle-crop tool. But I'm trying to use Digital Photo Professional now, although haven't found circular crop yet... |

I liked #2 the best before reading comments. After reading comments, I like #2 the best. If that matches the coin in hand the best then it may be the best lighting...for that coin. Quote:

A very fair and valid point dbrablec.I should have at least hyperlinked the terms to an explanatory web page, like this: ~~~ Mark's Entish self: "You should write down the lighting conditions for each of these photos." Mark's Saruman self: "Oh don't be silly! I will remember!" Mark's Entish self: "You are so hasty..." ~~~ Clearly I was, yet again, too hasty. Treebeard would not approve.  Edited by dd27
