<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1017438, member: 112&quot;]It depends on what you are trying to show about the coin. Showing fine detail is pretty simple. Just get adequate light, two 75w bulbs, on the coin and take your pic straight on and you&#039;ll get the detail. Assuming everything is focused.</p><p><br /></p><p>But to show luster or color is more difficult. But it&#039;s just like when you view a coin in hand - you tilt &amp; turn the coin under the light so you can see the luster or the color. The luster or color doesn&#039;t always show up well when viewing the coin straight on, and that&#039;s why you tilt and turn it - because luster &amp; color can sometimes only be seen at an angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the same thing with a camera. The camera replaces your eyes and the angle between the light source, the coin, and the eye of the camera, is what determines what the camera will see. So you just have to experiment by slightly changing the angles between those 3 things - the light, the coin and the camera - to get the picture you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
