Great pic Rob, One of these days I may get one half as good :ok:

That '38 is taken with a DSLR and Dedicated Macro lens.

Keep at it the end results are worth it.

My tip is, pick only nice looking coins to begin with.
An ugly looking coin no matter how well photographed
will allways be an ugly photo. :angel:

Thanks Mate.
I am happy with it as it shows the coin as it is .
Fantastic strike and damn near perfect reverse but the obverse is letting this one down with "cabinet wear" :dash1:
Anyway a three stepper with full lustre is a "Keeper" as far as I am concerned regardless of the unfortunate obverse :good:

the otte lights are good
but the replacement bulbs are not cheap!!
though they do usually last for a coupe of years
I get mine at the fabric shop

I had one that wouldn't go,  so got another one
funny, it went again after being in the cupboard for about a year
I thought, humm might just test it before I chuck it out and the damn thing turned on! so now I have two

I tried to capture all the colours in the toning on this coin.
Close, but NO Coconut this time

These are the first images I have taken which allows me to 'tether' my camera to my laptop.!! I can now focus using controls on the p.c..!
The software lifts the mirror and allows (I hope) to minimise any shake.






P.S. These are those 'ugly' coins your parents warned you about.:dodgy:

Just like sneeking a D7100 Nikon Body into play hey :dodgy:
That Tokina of your's will perform better if you up the
aperture setting to F8-F11, it's optical sharpness peak.

For background choice, Stick with neutrals at first.
Black white or grey.
The best chance to lift that colour that is there.

Good to see your having a bit of fun with your camera now Trout .
I've just been seeing if i can capture this die clash both sides properly,not quite as well as i would have liked.

I prefer black as it hides the shadows too.
