Photography / Greek Numismatics pt1: Phoenix Rising from its ashes

in #photography • 8 years ago (edited)

Got a new compact camera yesterday (Sony DSC-WX220) and I took it for a spin with a coin... its focus wasn't that good for reflective coins and the process took more time than I wanted to. My broken 4-year old compact Sony is faster. Anyway...

Three shots of the Greek, 5 Drachma coin, minted 1930 on Nickel, celebrating the 100 years of the 1830 minting of the Phoenix coin.

I tried a few different light angles to avoid the color of the camera being reflected from the coin...
