Are they in capsules?

Are they in capsules?

NO
I split the capsule and rested the coin in it for the shot.
This is directly out of a set.
Those Milk spots will drop this at least 1 grade :cray:
NO wonder it is so bloody hard to get a 70 grade :dash1:

What am I doing wrong here?
This is SOOOO frustrating :dash1:


This is the image from my point and shoot camera.
The colour is good here


This is the image from my DSLR camera.
There is NO colour here.

[Australian coin]

background and what setting the camera is on makes a difference, the second one is focusing on the background
darker backgrounds absorb light while light ones reflect it (depending on how much light you are using make a difference too with reflection on a surface)
2nd thing is textured backgrounds can make a camera focus on that, I was using felt to absorb reflection but the new camera want to zoom in on that instead of the coin :p

[trout]

OK mucked about with the manual setting on the white balance and focussed manually.
The trouble I am having is what I see on the rear lcd screen is NOT what the image will look like.

[Australian coin]

haha I have the same too, don't rely on the screen no matter what camera, all I can be sure of if the screen is blurry then the picture is too.
you just have to play around and see what works for you.
I really like the zoom or macro setting, that captures the detail for small things, but when I want to do larger stuff I have found that the auto detect is doing pretty good.
my camera also has scene select for brighter colours, haha it under scene - cuisine - for still life photography, vividly reproduces colours of fruit, vegetables, flowers etc.

your doing great, your coin is in focus and the colour is showing up nicely
might want to have a play with a black background if you can, cos dude that blue is out there

[serial]

the blue looks good
keep the pics coming
