A few weeks ago we talked about the rules for shooting coins: lighting, devices for shooting, background, and photo processing. Now we will examine typical errors encountered by coin collectors, as well as those who withdraw coins for sale / purchase.
1. Using the built-in flash.
Typically, this function is designed for shooting objects from a distance of 2-4 meters. When photographing coins, a flash inevitably provokes the appearance of glare and overexposure.
2. Simultaneous shooting of several different coins.
Of course, you can place several identical coins in the frame. But not the fact that they will be removed properly. As for the diverse coins, while photographing dark and light, it will seem that the light ones are overexposed, and the dark ones have darkened even more. When shooting different-sized coins, small ones among large ones are visually lost.
3. Uncircumcised image.
Often, a large picture size simply leaves no room for information about it. After trimming, the frame looks much more spectacular and its size in megabytes is reduced significantly.
4. Oiled look.
The blurring is due to insufficient coin illumination and neglect of using a tripod.
5. Lack of focus.
Not getting into focus is the cause of the wrong device for shooting and not using macro mode.
Photograph the coins correctly.
