snitchard Valued Member United States 409 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 7:04 pm Hello, Below are pictures of some novelty coins I took using my iPhone camera and a shoebox as a photo studio and a couple of iPhone apps for editing. These pictures are by no means perfect but I took my time and it took a lot of time, trial and error but I'm VERY happy with the results. Also, I will not be taking pictures of my collection beyond these because that would take years and a lot of unnecessary frustration. Thanks, Rich Edited by snitchard 07/02/2023 7:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18732 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 7:21 pm Nice pics, snitchard! But some are a bit blurry. Are you using the photo timer? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18732 Posts	Posted 07/02/2023 8:04 pm Just the gentle pushing of the button can jar your phone enough to blur a pic. There is a setting when taking pics with iPhones that allows for a 3 or 5 second delay from pressing the button to when the camera takes the picture. It looks like a small clock.

snitchard Valued Member United States 409 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 10:28 am Hi John I did, sort of, I didn't use the bottle cap though and I noticed Earle42 was using a piece of paper underneath and I didn't do that either. Perhaps I'll follow his instructions very closely and see what I get Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 164377 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 3:38 pm Nice examples! I agree with using the timer. Every single coin photo I take is blurry otherwise.
