1913 type 1 3 1/2 legs in a Heritage auction, question about color and toning
Here is a nice 1913 ty1. 3 and one half legger in a current Heritage auction. I was really taken aback by the beautiful color shown in the trueview pictures But if you compare the truview pictures with the coin shown in its slab they appear to be two different coins. How do you get such a colorful true view pic from the… -
Re: 1913 type 1 3 1/2 legs in a Heritage auction, question about color and toning
So I went looking for a short video (many are long) giving some info on this and with examples (many don't). Found this one and at 1:40 it has a decent example I think. Can see some lighting and color differences due to the exposure (surf, background). Then can think of how that would change the Buffalo photo. Note: I am… -
Re: 1913 type 1 3 1/2 legs in a Heritage auction, question about color and toning
@FlyingAl Hey in this thread it shows a buffalo with less exposure and more exposure (as noted in thread). While the color/toning is minimal it does show what you mentioned. The exposure did not have a large impact on the color. Once again I am not a photographer. Thanks… -
Re: 1913 type 1 3 1/2 legs in a Heritage auction, question about color and toning
@lilolme I don’t think I that the exposure triangle has as much effect on the photos as the angle and brightness of the light. Generally, two or three lamps are used at 10 and 2 or (I think, I don’t use this setup) 9-3-6. A lot of the exposure triangle is cut out of the factor by tripods- it’s not often changed with the… -

Re: 1913 type 1 3 1/2 legs in a Heritage auction, question about color and toning
It all comes down to lighting and how the coin really looks. HA pictures (to me) look to be hastily and carelessly taken at times just as an afterthought, more to show the slab than the coin. A lot of auction houses do this because of the sheer volume that they have, they can't take pro photos 24/7 for thousands of coins.… -

Another example (and a good one) of how the difference in lighting etc. can make one coin look like a different one.... Cheers, RickO -
Re: 1913 type 1 3 1/2 legs in a Heritage auction, question about color and toning
@lilolme I do absolutely agree that the video is really informative and is a great example of the main aspects of photography for a beginner and thank you for finding it. I was more responding that I don’t believe the overexposure of the True View photos contributed to the colors. It may not be overexposed as well but… -

The coin could look exactly like the slab photos in hand. I have a buff like that and the true view looks like a dark toned coin like the TV above. -
