Seeing
as the Queens Diamond Jubilee is here soon I thought I would have a go
at doing some 360° Object photography to celebrate. I have never tried
360° Object photography before. I used stop motion capture to collect
the frame sequence.
the video of my 1977 Crown Coin.
View me in full screen mode at 720p or 1080p.
I recently found this
coin that I was given as a child in Primary School back in 1977 to
celebrate the Queens Silver Jubilee. I think all the children in my
class at school were given these as a gifts at the time. Can't imagine
that happening today can you!
Coin Specifications :
Metal: Cupro-Nickel
Diameter: 38.61mm
Weight: 28.28g
You'd think this coin would be worth quite a lot but I see there are lots on ebay for £1-£2, oh well.

The complete 360 rotation of the coin is made from 294 photographs.
I used my Canon Ixus 430 in Macro mode and triggered it using PSRemote in time-lapse mode.
Each
photograph is 2272x1704 pixels, I have cropped them down to 16:9 aspect
ratio and 1080p resolution for Youtube video format.
To rotate
the coin I put a tiny bit of glue on the edge of the coin and stuck it
onto a spindle that allowed me to rotate it a tiny amount from
underneath.
As you may notice I got a bit bored after 180 degrees of
turning it a tiny amount each time so the 2nd side of the coin moves a
bit quicker.
Its not too bad for a first attempt, what do you think?
The main problem seems to be focus which starts having trouble when the edge of the coin is close to the lens.
I'm happy with the stability of the shots, nothing has moved from frame 1 to frame 294.
Exposure is pretty good as is the detail picked out by the lens.
There is a lot to think about when doing 360° Object photography such as reflections and lighting.
Thanks
