    Not too shabby!

    Have you gotten to the point where that quality is easy to reproduce?
  • That was a straight shot from the camera...........cropped it and thats all

    If you use something black, like a book or something rigid, to fill the fields of the coin, it will keep the reflections of the camera out and show your cameos brilliantly. Make sure you are looking through the eyepiece when you are holding the book to ensure the whole field is covered. -Dan
  • Thanks for the tip.

    Several problems with the pics. I did not set the white balance at all and with a straight on shot, I have always gotten a reflection of the camera and even myself on these highly reflective NCLT coins.

    That is why I am saying to use a large black object. Try it out. No more reflections. -dan

    Take the pics at a very slight angle and have a black shirt reflecting into the fields - this will give excellent results to cam and dcam proofs!
