<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1753333, member: 19463&quot;]Thanks for the reviews.&nbsp; Since I started this, I changed my set up to be somewhere between these two.&nbsp;&nbsp; It gets depressing that all coins look better &#039;in hand&#039; no matter what I do.&nbsp; Few coins benefit from being blown up to large size and seen under strong light.&nbsp; There is also the problem of our ability to wiggle a coin in hand and see what we want to see more clearly while a photo has to be made in the same light for the whole surface all at once.&nbsp; Of the group the only one I felt was a 100% improvement was #4 so it was obvious that I went too far with the non directional lighting added.&nbsp; I need to figure a way to adjust the relative brightness of the two light sources used (directional and ring) but neither will allow a rheostat.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are two problems in photography that trip me up.&nbsp; One is being able to adjust things to get it the way I like it but the worst is deciding what it is I like.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hole?&nbsp; Obviously both photos are failures if you see a hole.&nbsp; Perhaps you see the O&#039;s in Roma and Aemelio as holes?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
