Trying out Samsung S22+ for coin pics

bsshog40 · January 23, 2023 6:41PM

So I've played around with my phone camera on regular pictures. The camera really does some awesome stuff. I can erase people or things from a pic and it looks pretty natural. This is really the first time to see what I can do with coins. I have this bullion eagle that has some nice color. Captured it pretty good and cropping lets me circle cut too. What ya think?

Nice detail. I did not know that there were no (thin) lines on the shield.

Did you just point and shoot? Nice picture

Great job, Bobby. Color is fantastic for a cell. I've got the Samsung S20+ and it is great also with 5 lens. Doesn't have the extra editing steps. Can't use the mangniscope attachment though. lol

Besides my 2 lights, I did nothing but crop the pics. No enhancements.

Ya, I went up my S10 last yr. The wife has an S20 also. I use the digital zoom also so I don't have to drop my phone too close to the object and block any light.

Wow.... That is a phone picture?? Really great!!! Would you say that it accurately portrays the 'in hand' detail? Cheers, RickO

DennisH · January 24, 2023 7:15AM

Awesome!
I am amazed at how good those pixs are, regardless of what took them.

Except for a little light glare in a couple spots, the pic really represents what I see inhand.

@bsshog40... Thanks for the reply... and once again, excellent pictures. Did not realize such quality could be obtained from a phone. Cheers, RickO

Phone technology has come a long way my friend. I have a nice Canon, ott lights and copy stand. I use to take dozens of pics just to get the right look. One shot on this. Lol

I just got the S20 but haven't shot any pictures with it yet. I gotta say I'm super impressed with your photos!

MICHAELDIXON · January 24, 2023 12:21PM

Beautiful coin. You took a great picture!

Show off. lol Wow! They just offered me to trade my S20+($800) for the S22+ for $5/month for 36 mo. Is there any thing else your phone requires to get what you listed, just the S22+?

Not sure what you're asking Jim.

Great image of a spectacular coin!!

lilolme · January 24, 2023 2:36PM

Photo looks good.
I got a new phone and not being a photographer but still curious I just walked around pointing it at various things. What I noticed was that the red items in general appeared more red on the screen than they actually were. Other colors were closer and some appeared correct. White balance could be off a little as some 'pure white' items had a little off white to them. Also things seemed brighter on the phone screen than they actually were with my eyes. Normal light or dim light the camera picked up more light and made it more visible or brighter, which can be a good thing. Now on the good side in messing around with it I noticed the zoom (slider from 0.5x to 10x) and when at the hardware store trying to read some micro-print on a small box I remembered the camera and zoom. Bang - point camera at the printing and zoom and all clear to read.

jesbroken · January 24, 2023 3:04PM

@bsshog40. Not sure what you're asking Jim.

Just asking whether your editing, zoom, etc. all came with the 22+ model or were there additional fees assoc. with these

No Jim, all is built in the phone. Btw, it gets a little shaky but this phone has a 100x digital zoom also. Lol

Nice pics! Do you hold the phone in your hand or do you have something to hold it steady?

In my hand. Let out my breath and catch the one second of steadiness. Lol

Eldorado9 · January 24, 2023 3:44PM

Holy cow, who needs trueview! Great shots, and the coin itself is very pretty!

bsshog40 · January 29, 2023 7:18AM

So I thought I would try another one of my slabs (that wasn't gold) to see if I could still get inhand looks. This one looks like it does inhand pretty darn good. Slightly out of focus tho but I still like the results.

WAYNEAS · January 29, 2023 7:23AM

Super Pictures.
Thanks @bsshog40 for sharing!
