Proof Kennedy pics, my best yet.

proofs are the hardest for me to get good pics of. I think that I have finally found a technique that I like. The camera is about 3 inches from the coin and I wrap a piece of white paper around the slab and abuts the camera (kinda a white wall around the coin). I have a black sock over the camera with a few strategic holes for the lens and such. the camera is black, but all of the silver bits on it make reflections with the lights.

Nice pic! I wish I would have thought about the black sock around the camera. That's ingenius!

While I think your picture is nice and clear and clean looking, it also looks washed out. There is no luster or mirrors to be found. My pics are all taken in indirect sunlight with no filters or copy stands or other things involved. I simply hold the camera physically in my hands and focus and shoot. My results look like this.....Ken..
