Photo's

This is a 1964 MS66FT NGC, how are my photos and how can I improve them? The color on the face still doesn't show the blues and pinks as well as in hand

Looks to me like you're only using one light. Use two, and you are at the wrong angle when you are directing the light. The first looks like 12 o'clock, the second from 3 o'clock. Try two lights and somewhere approximately 10 and 2 o'clock for the two lights.

Were you standing over my shoulder when I took these? I'll give it a shot, thanks

It's kinda freaky that you can do that!

I've taken a lot of coin photos.... and I mean a lot! And I didn't have anyone to give me feedback. Started before I discovered these message boards. They would have saved me many many hours and tons of wasted digital space!

If I haven't said it, I appreciate the help, thanks

Try to shoot a big coin first. Like Morgan dollar. It will be more easy to get enough light on a coin. I don't know what equipment you are using, but dimes is hard to shoot even with the good lens. Use tripod and self timer.

I'll say this - that obverse shot is vastly superior to most of your previous efforts. You are improving noticeably. Keep up the good work.

for the most part, I'm using tripod and timer, unfortunately, it's a p&s kodak and I think I need to understand the settings more. Thanks for your help
