[QUOTE="Jo Wo, post: 4871448, member: 109108"]any tips from the photography pros on whiting out the background? I tried laying coins on a glass plate, with an air gap between the glass and a sheet of white paper below. Then a torch pointing at the paper. The effect is nice, but laying the coins on a glass plate can scratch them if I'm not careful because sometimes there is a little grit after photographing some of the older, dirtier coins. Also sometimes small marks or debris are visible lying on the glass. I was thinking maybe I could place the coins on a little raised pedestal so that you can't see the pedestal from the camera. Then placing the whole thing on one of the artists backlit drawing boards. That way the coin would be raised a few inches from the backlit light and so the background would be blurry and no debris visible. Any thoughts appreciated!![/QUOTE]
