<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 4863451, member: 112673"]You can add a blocker around the coin if necessary, and I find I need to for 1 in 50 coins I shoot. It depends on the surface. I find it really flattens the look of the coin. I use the side light from the light source to create catchlights in the eyes, edge highlights and relief shadow across the coins of more image depth. Of course, the distance of the diffuser between the light and the coin is critical in this process. It determines the amount of contrast in the coin and length and darkness in the shadows. Sometime I need a small thin strip to just block light from the very edge of the coin, so I don't get a hot spot.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1174846[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
