<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 1721866, member: 44140&quot;]Yea, you and I are in the same boat. I shoot my black background coins against a piece of black velvet. The I use paint to cover up the white &quot;fibers&quot; that attach to the velvet and show up in the photo. I actually like white the best. I think it makes the coin more true to real appearance. The flash against the black background washes the coin out. Natural light works the best but some of my coins have, different surfaces that react differently to the light. My Tyre shekel, initially I place it on the table on a white piece of paper and just shot it, and it looks close to what it does in hand. Then I shot it against a black background and was forced to use low natural light and then artificially boost the brightness in order to get a decent picture, with all the details clearly visible, but the coin looks different than it does in reality.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
