<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1752713, member: 19463"]Today I played with the latest effort to find lighting that will work reasonably well with more coins rather than having to customize what I do for every individual coin. I would appreciate opinions on not only which photos are better but WHY you prefer that one. Don't ask which image looks more like the coin because each looks like the coin when lighted that way. Coins held three inches under a high intensity lamp don't look like the same coins in a dimly lit coin show venue or outside in blazing sun. </p><p> </p><p>Each pair shows the same coin with my previous photo on top and today's experiment below. The top photos were not all taken together but coins were tilted and rotated as I saw fit at that moment. The lighting for the bottom set was all the same. Are any (all? which?) of the bottom images an improvement on the top set? Why? Thanks!</p><p> </p><p>Coins for this test were all recent additions that I have shown here before in separate threads so I won't talk about the coins here.

[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1752713, member: 19463"]Today I played with the latest effort to find lighting that will work reasonably well with more coins rather than having to customize what I do for every individual coin.
