If you're doing a custom white balance, you follow a procedure of shooting a piece of white paper under the lighting you're using for the coin...

Exactly. So the typical answer is to always make your own light, and not trust the various lights in the room, those coming through windows, etc....
Usually there's a white balance setting where you pick the kind of light you're in: daylight, clouds, tungsten, fluorescent, etc. It looks to me...

A single un-watermarked photo exhibited here is protected by copyright law. The issue at hand is how you would enforce that law. Registering your...
You can register thousands of photos in one shot at http://www.copyright.gov/eco/ and it costs $35 last time I did it. Send small (500px) sized...
