lukkyseven Pillar of the Community United States 880 Posts	Posted 11/27/2010 4:28 pm Ever so slowly!! But it's coming along. I didn't pick the nicest coin I have (cause I don't own any real nice ones yet), but I decided to really try to capture the toning on this one. Honest opinions please, you can't hurt my feelings. I do realize that the reverse is OOF at the top. Not sure how to correct that as I don't know what my mistake was. Report this Post to the Staff

You need to have the camera mounted straight up and down so the coin is parallel to the plane of the lens. Depth of field is very shallow in macro photography. If you use higher aperture settings, you can increase your depth of field, but you'll have to use more light. Report this Post to the Staff
