New Try At Photo's, Copper

Holding a PROOF coin with your bare hands,that's a no-no.

just reread SD's A720 earlier post, I get something out of each time I read it..I think these will be good enough for grading

For all of you out there like me who follow these trials and errors of shooting coins, I must say, the shineyer..the easier they are to capture, the duller the harder, but everything has its own learning curve....The big 3 to my old eyes,,,are the lighting and the apeture which directly effects
the shutter speed...the ISO is 4th....and while the ISO also effects all of the above..one has to know just how lustrious the coin is in chosing a good ISO...
The brighter the coin I have been using a much lower ISO setting, achieving premium detail with mid range shutter speed say 1/320-500

ONE WILL quickly see I forgot to mention the F/stop...
that is apepture but it really depends on the grade of the lenses you have in your inventory....SO what I am trying to "pry" out of the greater minds and photo guys here is some of the basics of settings.....my guide is trial and error..
But I have been seeing some definite relationships in the out come of these 3 main things despite not having the correct lenses for taking coin shots as most of are trying to do....having a good track result from some basic principles to follow are what I am trying to achieve...
This particular thread was a first attempt to capture from my old camera proof Lincolns I have lying around, looking for the luster and detail, think the luster is there but not quite the detail....2 monsters which should be captured together for a fine photo...Thanks for your comments..G
