<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2164966, member: 59737"]Complete novice here, but I will tell you to get a camera stand, two CFL bulb using lamps with goosenecks (put at the 10 and 2 o'clock position) take photos in a dark room when there's no natural light ruining the shot. Use a macro lens if you have one; I spent about $25 to get a macro lens and adapter for my camera. Make sure the coin and camera are at the exact same angle. Make sure whatever the coin is on isn't reflecting light. The rest is playing with angles, light filters, and camera settings. Here are some of my shots.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]417196[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417197[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417198[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417199[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417200[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417201[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417202[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417203[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
