Dads Stuff Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I don't know why, but I have the hardest time taking pics of dimes. They usually come out looking like they are carved from granite. This example is a nice shiny coin, no blazing luster, but a nice coin. I don't have trouble with the other denominations. They are acceptable to me. I have read the tips section, but more equipment is not an option. I have tried direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, incandescent and florescent lighting. Any suggestions?

nohope587 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Have you tried cutting the ends off a plastic milk jug and taking the picture with the light shining through the sides of the jug. Extra Equipment I know but not that expensive. I have had good results cutting the bottom out of a jug and cutting the top off to fit the camera lense.

Dads Stuff Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'll have to try that. It sounds like I shouldn't break the bank with that piece of equipment. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigd349 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 You did pretty well with that finger print on that quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads Stuff Posted January 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 You did pretty well with that finger print on that quarter. Noticed that fingerprint right off, didn't ya! With everyone talkin' about the type of coins they are collectin', I thought I'd start something new. Coins with the human touch. I got a couple of nickles and a few quarters. But the most prized coin in my new type set is a coin with a confederate general riding an appaloosa pony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RalphP13 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 I try to make up for bad photos with a good graphics program. It allows me to be a little more forgiving of my photos. This is your reverse. Before & After Thanks, Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
