The Challenge:
52 Weeks + the Alphabet = Great Experience and Learning!
Each week (by Friday) we will all post a photo pertaining to the letter that week - week 1= a, week 2 = b.. week 27 = a again and so on.
Be original & creative. Find subjects that start with the letter or find that letter in nature.
Finally, each week critique the photos according to composition, exposure, etc.
We will learn from our experiences, and the critique.
Good Luck!

very creative, I tried coins too and I could not make it work! this is awesome, I like the square pattern!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you laid them all out, it looks like it could be from a collector's catalogue.
ReplyDeleteThe different sizes and the way you placed them also works well, it gives them a sense of scale as well as a nice composition as a whole.
My only suggestion would be that for this sort shot where it is more of a product shot, or a description of the coins themselves, I'd want to see the whole coin in focus. For a couple of them the front or back is soft, because you've shot them from slightly in front. The depth of field is so shallow that you can't it all in focus this way, but if you shot from directly overtop, with the lens parallel to the coin surface, it would all be sharp.
I have a sony alpha 100 and I tried to do from the top like you suggested but I kept getting a shadow or the flash just washed the photo out. Is there a trick that would help with that? Because I would like them to be clear as well, some of them are so intricate!
ReplyDeleteHmm, I see how that could be a problem. Do you have a tripod? If you could position your camera on the tripod, pointing straight down, then you could use a longer shutter speed to get the coins without a flash. Or you could move the coins to where there is more light, like by a window, so the light would be coming from the side and more diffused, then you wouldn't get a shadow.
