<p>[QUOTE="Jaelus, post: 2164830, member: 46237"]Thanks. Well I had been photographing coins with a cheaper setup for the better part of a year, but I quickly hit a plateau due to the limitations of the equipment I was using. After I got the above setup it only took a couple months to get some great shots. About a week to figure out the best camera settings, get everything calibrated, and figure out the tethering software. The rest of the time is all learning about lighting and how it relates to the surfaces. Basically the color (or lack thereof), contrast, and type of surfaces will dictate how you need to light the coin. The book helped immensely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
