Never was satisfied with any other photo of the beefalo because of the hammered surface but I think I finally got something I like.

I'm not sure if this was your intention, but it looks like it's silver, but taken in the light of a sunset.
Would additional depth of field (higher f-stop) provide you with more of this high relief coin being in focus? As an amateur photographer, I was just wondering. Thanks!

Never view my other linked pages. They aren't coin related.
your photos always are excellent and put mine to shame. this is my crappy pic but the color is more natural. what lighting did you use?

He used both flash and overhead fluorescent light. Two different colors for the light are causing that effect.

thanks messydesk, i`m working on my skills and every bit of info helps. i`m shopping for some better lighting as i`m using a single incandescent.
