Very, very nice but... a little dark imho...

I like lots of Frosting on my cake..."-)

I have a similar camera, a canon A550. Curious as to your setup and the camera settings you used on the silver and the copper.

Great pictures by the way!!!

<< <i>Very, very nice but... a little dark imho... >>

Yeah, maybe a little. I had some lighter ones, but I liked the detail on this one.

(edited) Plus now that I'm looking at the pics at work I think my monitors at home are set a little bright, making me think the images are lighter than they are

<< <i>Curious as to your setup and the camera settings you used on the silver and the copper. >>

A570 on a copy stand, positioned 11" (28cm, the closest distance you can get full zoom, which is 2cm better than Canon advertises)

2 OTT lights. (used to run 4, but with the tighter macro with zoom with the 570, it seems I can get the effect I want with just 2 since I can get the lights below the camera

)

I position the lights/rotate the coin for the effect I want (best show of color, shadows where I want them, deep dark mirrors on proofs), then I open F stop as wide as it'll go at full telephot optical zoom (4x at 5.5), and then adjust shutter speed as tight as I can to get the exposure I want.

excellent shot.....

Good point about the Monitor setting on differant computers...

I to love the detail in your shot...

57loaded · October 30, 2007 12:31AM

that is a really great shot, regardless.

it's not too dark imho. do you monkey (no pun intended spacemonkey) with photoshop or other programs?

copy stand is a must...

now that has way too many artifacts to be pleasing at all.

amazing picture!!!! I give it an MS70

"now that has way too many artifacts to be pleasing at all."

Not sure I understand what you mean by artifacts, please elaborate...?

<< <i>amazing picture!!!! I give it an MS70 >>

thanks. But I still have to work on getting rid of that "reflection doubling" (look at the "In God We Trust"). It's impossible to see it's there on the camera LCD, and even blown up to 20" monitor size it's easy to miss until you see it in the picture

Incredible!

JapanJohn · October 30, 2007 6:21AM

Oh yeah!.....I've always known that a pocket cam can take lovely pictures. I think most may not realize exactly what their pocket cams are capable of these days.

Good job. I've been saying for a few months that the A570IS is the best bargain in digital photography right now. It's cheap and it just about has it all.

The picture is looking even better with the red out of it. Proofs can be tough to capture and keep the reflections out.

Very nice. A little dark but very nice. More power to the little cameras.

Fun fun fun with the Canon A570
