Coin Photography Help?

Thanks for the input guys! I appreciate it! I’ll work on the white balance.

I was able to set my custom white balance which was easier than I had anticipated on my Canon 60D. Any thoughts, suggestions welcome. Thanks!

I have the feeling that this is much more accurate!

I agree with Tom. The earlier photos you could tell it was way too red...even the slab was red. This one is a lot better but still seems a bit reddish (the slab is too). Or it might just be my monitor or whatever. It IS much better than before though.

 

I have a Nikon D3000 and it has a WB "manual mode" where the camera takes a sample of a shot and internally adjusts the WB. I have a gray card I put on the copy stand, I turn on the lights for a few minutes (to warm up) then I go to the WB setting and take the sample photo. Does your camera have a similar mode?

Yes. That's exactly how it worked. Thanks for the feedback!
