If the details are still getting blown out due to the proximity and strength of the light you can try diffuse lighting by placing some trace paper or gift wrap style tissue paper over the lamp (just be sure it wont burn from the heat of the lamp.), this will eliminate the intense glare of the light and give more even, or diffuse coverage. You may need two lamps if the paper you use diminishes the power of the light too much or else you can set your camera for a longer exposure.
Good work! |
Man, this makes my old pics look just terrible!
The bendy neck helps out SO MUCH, and the 20 Watt bulb in the lamp, isn't as bright as the flash, but it showcases more details, and is more controllable to photograph off the coin
Thanks for your help
