TONED MORGANS.......Just got my new camera setup to take photos

jbsteven

Please give me your opinions on these photos. I am still messing with the angles of the lighting to get the colors right (trust me it is hard). I am using the dome setup with the fiber optic lighting. This setup is the one that the guy sells at all the big shows. It is his full blown nice setup and seems to take EXCELLENT pictures on white and lightly toned coins. The vibrant colored Morgans and Jeffereson are kinda hard to get right. Some of them come out just right and some of the lighter colors are not showing up like I want them.

here they are:

I think those coins are great. And the pics are looking good. One thing I would do, though, is crop out the non-coin parts. That lets you spend more pixels on the coins and less on whitespace.

Nice coins, pics look pretty good but i agree get rid of the slab and just post the coin (lets you show a larger picture of the coin)

I'd suggest doing something to correct for the white balance. There's probably a setting on your camera that will allow to you manually adjust it to your lighting conditions, or you could use image editing software to achieve the same objective. I played with the pic of the 81-O as an example, hope that you don't mind.
