TonysPics Valued Member United States 178 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 7:29 pm I really have to make sure I get this photo right. This is a Deep Cameo, Proof 69 Kennedy half, and it has to show in the photos. The first 7 photos are variations of the first photo I worked on, and photo # 8 is another photo with no adjustments made. Which photo is best, or do none of them really show the Deep Cameo, Proof 69?

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 8:33 pm Not bad. You can definitely see the cameo. Proofs are pretty hard to photograph. It is much like #8 and that one I like too. Hopefully, we'll have some other opinions soon. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

mowens16 Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 08/11/2009 8:42 pm I like both 3 and 8, but as was stated eariler a black background will help. I would also move my lighting off to the side a little to help bring out the cameo and to reduce the reflection from the field. Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 08/12/2009 11:03 am I like #2 and #8 the best. Angling the shot and the light is good advise. Report this Post to the Staff
