Some newps with pictures

I decided to take a crack at imaging some stuff since I've been lazy and have not taken a single coin picture in months. I'll update with some other newps from the last few months as I get them imaged.

Picked me up one of those FSNC award winning nickel sets. This is the matte coin.

And the proof -- starburst much?

Another proof -- I need to work on my skills with imaging these things.

Too dark. Add a light or two.

<< Too dark. Add a light or two. >>

That is already two 60 watt bulbs. I guess I could expose it a little more.

Let's see it against a different background first. The black isn't helping. MJ

Don't think this makes much of a difference. Going to just reshoot it, I suppose.

I have a few walkers that look like that for what it's worth. Looking forward to more pictures!MJ

Add a third bulb. I shoot with three. I find 2 makes it a bit too dark. 4 sometimes is even required. Also, bump yourself to some 100 watters. The higher the wattage, the brighter the lights. Therefore the quicker the exposure can be. The quicker you can fire the shutter, the sharper the shot becomes.

By the way that looks like an awesome coin!

Very nice coin. I love black and white Walkers.

Take two, but not sure if I did it any favors lol.

Picked me up one of those FSNC Award Winning Design sets. This is the matte finish.

That looks really nice! Black and White walkers are notoriously difficult subjects so don't let it bother you too much...

2 bulbs can be plenty of light. 2 bulbs also helps show more relief. Don't ever get stuck on one lighting setup.
