PHOTO "LIGHTING" TEST PIC

Trying to get rid of the yellow tint. Definitely a work in progress as I am still not happy with these results...

Greetings Collectors,

During the last six months I have changed out all of my light bulbs throughout my home with the newer style "curly" florescent bulbs and while doing so, changed out the bulbs on my two table lamps I use for my coin and jewelry photography. I have noticed that the quality of my journal pics have gone down "considerably". Rightly or wrongly, I blame the bulbs. It's the only thing I've changed. At first I had two 100 watt bulbs for the lamps and still kept the subject piece on top of a sheet of white printer paper. The 100 watt bulbs made it look as if the coin/subject was on top of a yellow piece of paper. This pic is one with a reduction to 60 watt curly fluorescent and doesn't appear quite as yellow but it still shows quite a bit too much of yellow tint. I think I'm gonna go back to regular 60 watt "old fashion" bulbs because it appears I got a better finished product.

I have as late, been going through all of my gallery photos and made a list of all the re-shoots needed. Wow, there is way more to do than I thought. I'm also going through and re-taking all pictures to be just the "coin only" rather than the whole slab. I mean after all, it's the coin that counts. So I really have my work cut out for myself. In fact it's going to be so much work that I going to start with just all of the Franklin halves and the Walkers, followed by all of the gold coins. I have my Franklin set #1 done as they were re-shot back in the fall to highlight just the coin only. But as an up-grade would occur in that set, I moved the replaced coin down the line to subsequent sets and thus have some shots of the coin and the slab and some with just the coin. Quite a "hodgepodge" of very unprofessional looking shots.

This is a shot with the lower wattage newer bulbs and is what I'm still not pleased with. Soooo, it's back to the drawing board. It's a reverse of a newly acquired $5 I just picked up.

Happy Collecting!

Silver to gold ratio is at 49.621 which has been slowly rising during this latest correction in all of the metals. Again a great buying opportunity for those that can take advantage.
