I just received this link from one of my Aussie mates

Good tips but a little hokey

Hope this helps me and some of us to take better pictures

I use a milk/water jug too! However, I put the coin/object on a black porous background (i.e., black cloth) so NO adjacent light is reflected to and from the object.

Here's what I got my idea from...this article with pics:

Also, I use a tri-pod, macro setting, GE Reveal Light Bulbs (No Flash) for the best results. Then practice!

 

That was a great posting rggoodie. Whenever I find the time to photo my collection, I will now know what to do.

 

Thanks Richard. I never gave that idea a thought. It really diffused the light well. That may take some of the hash lines and shadows off when doing coins.
