<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 4918121, member: 112673"]sure. I’ll need to take some shots of the set up to go along with the text but here’s the executive summary. Essentially I use a large diffused light source above the coin that illuminates the coin from every direction. I shoot the coin almost straight down, but not quite. I shoot from a 4 degree angle, and that part is key. Using a small white card, placed just right, I block only the light hitting the slab at the opposite 4 degree angle, which when reflected, comes directly back at the camera. This way the coin is flooded with soft light from all around and the glare is blocked. Later I correct the 4 degree angle with perspective control tools in photoshop.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
