<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2007511, member: 19463"]I'm still working on it. Some coins get photographed a dozen times before I give up trying to capture the look that seems to match what I see in hand. This one still has the ring but adds a diffuse directional light from the top to add glare. The shine of the coin always shows glare in hand so the question is how much is enough to capture the idea but not wreck the details. Portrait photographers do the same thing when shooting those of us who are more full of character than revealed on the standard passport photo. The color on this one is much more accurate but it is still lighter than I might like. Some coins photograph accurately the first time; some don't. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]360877[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
