<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 997644, member: 112&quot;]Eye - something very important to know when shooting coin pics but it seldom gets mentioned. You only want to have 1 light source. Now I don&#039;t mean just 1 light, I mean <u>one type </u>of light ! </p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, shooting pics when you are using Reveal bulbs and have the drapes open on the windows is a bad idea. Shooting pics say on your dingroom table with Reveal bulbs while the overhead kitchen light is on - bad idea. You cannot mix different types of light.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you&#039;re shooting pics you only want 1 light source. The drapes need to be closed, all other lights in the room or adjacent rooms need to be off. There can be no other light except the lights you are using to take the pic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then and only then will you get good consistent pics where the color is the same and the right color.</p><p><br /></p><p>You see, every different type of light there is causes the color of an object, any object, to change. That&#039;s why when you look at coin in the sunlight it looks one color, under a light bulb another color, under a different light bulb yet another color, and under 2 different kinds of lightbulbs yet another color. And there are even more differences between incandescent light and fluorescent light.</p><p><br /></p><p>So remember, when shooting coins pics - 1 light source ! You can have 14 lights if you want, but they all have to be the same kind of lightbulb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
