<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2461267, member: 74282&quot;]Yup those are all mine. My setup is somewhat based on Doug&#039;s. I am still figuring out how to get good photos of bronzes(especially those with shiny patinas) but silver is pretty easy. I shoot with a black background(some cheap black felt) but then manually add a &quot;real black&quot; background later, i.e. this is what they looks like from the camera before cropping &amp; a bit of work with a brush to add the &quot;real black&quot; background:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]516049[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]516050[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The full bill of materials for this setup is:</p><p>Nikon D3200</p><p>Cheap copy stand(don&#039;t remember the brand ~$40 on Amazon when I bought it)</p><p>Dowel rods of various sizes(you want ones small enough for tiny AR sestertii and obols in the 10-12mm range up to ones big enough for Ptolemaic drachms and RR asses, both in the 30+ mm range)</p><p>Block of craft foam with a hole for each size of dowel rod</p><p>A yard of so of black velvet with holes for each size of dowel rod</p><p>2 adjustable desk lamps with LED daylight spectrum bulbs</p><p><br /></p><p>I am actually going to do some experimenting with some various bronzes I have coming in this week to see if I can get my results with those better. The results are OK, and I use them for my website photos, but I want to get them even better. I&#039;d also like to look into a macro lens at some point, currently just using the regular kit lens that came with the D3200.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
