Fantastic images! thumbsup2.gif

 

For those of us who are learning about imaging coins, how did you do this?

Budget copy stand. wink.gif

 

I manipulate the lights and the camera settings (exposure) until the on-screen image looks how I want. smile.gif

 

It takes some time to learn your camera.

 

Thanks for all the nice compliments on my buffalo and image. smile.gif

 

Tom, I agree that it just looks so much better as a type 1!

I see you like the low tech approach like me. Not a real fancy setup. laugh.gif

 

Real copystands are just so expensive... and this works just as well!

 

I'd rather spend the money on coins! grin.gif

Amanda,

 

Did you shoot the coin against a white background and then photoshop the background to black?

 

I love how people do this. I just shoot on the carpet but the photos I take for my home inventory I take against a piece of matte printer paper.

Hi John,

 

I shot the coin on a black background (a book) and then photoshopped another black backround in.

 

That way, my camera meters the coin and doesn't get confused by a light background.

 

Nice to see you acroos the street! smile.gif
