Photo critique

[newprepper]

I'm getting there, I think, camera on Aperture priority, f3.5 iso100, what will help improve this? the color is better, but I lost the luster, this is an ms67. I tilted the coin, matched the camera tilt. Got most of the color, but the pinks are not popping.

 

edit, viewing on home computer with smaller image looked alot better, These suck, HELP!!

All I can say is that you are far beyond me when it comes to photographing coins. I'd have better luck with a stone and a bird like the Flintstones had.

Right now I'm seeing a little too much light.

I'll try less, thanks

Your lights are too low. You need to get them up at a higher angle to the coin to get the color to pop.

Even with professional equipment getting the light just right is very hard to do with certain coins.

 

Keep trying different things, and maybe invest in a Speedlite and a $20 diffuser.

 

Also try bouncing the light off a white wall, like this.....

Here's my latest, less light, (alot), diffused, what do you think?

These are much better than your previous effort.
