<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dave M, post: 2076236, member: 17469&quot;]Interesting you&#039;re seeing a color issue. I&#039;ll wait until daylight to compare, but actually the color (I thought) was very accurate. I did a custom white balance with the tungsten light. I do only have one light to use, and realize I need at least one more. The light on this is from a lamp at about 45deg. I have two monitors, and yes one appears a bit more green, and the other is more golden. And you&#039;re right, there is no green in the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your focus comment really throws me though. There is no way this is focused on the slab. The coin is quite sharp, well, at least it&#039;s as sharp as any of the various tests I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>The note about reflections is absolutely correct though. I was having trouble not with direct reflections of the light into the camera, but of the light creating odd bright spots as it hit the three &quot;holders&quot; in the slab, and refracting through them. My hope here is that with a second light, these refractions won&#039;t be there.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I say, I&#039;m kind of starting at step #1 here, and I assume going through learnings that other folks have made before me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
