My first axial lighting setup was a piece of glass from an 8x10 picture frame. See below. I mounted it to a couple of 2x4 blocks I cut on a...
Image for today. Very interesting. Your work reflects your dedication to this. I'm using a Nikkor 105 macro and I usually shoot at f14, which...
I suppose the Jansjo LED lights are fairly low wattage. What ISO, shutter speed and aperture are you shooting at? Since you're cutting the coin...
Nice shots. I like the third Lincoln best. It has catch lights in the eyes. How old are these images? Were they shot on black or was that added...
I did that one for me, visiting the artsy side of coin photography. I've been doing a lot of cut outs lately. I do numismatic photography for my...

I like roerbakmix’s editing of the image above and it got me to wondering how I might edit the same image, so for fun, I did. Here it is....
I find it interesting that everyone has this desire to capture images of what their coins looks like "in hand", when that's rarely when a coin...
There is some very cool exonumia on here. Here are a couple of WW1 medals of mine. I think the Winged Victory face looks a bit like the Joker....
I agree the image has an orange cast, but I don't think it's from the toning. I suspect it is the paper reflector. Look at the rims of both sets...
