<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jafo50, post: 4199619, member: 90633&quot;]Sam, when I first started photographing my coins I struggled to find a decent setup to use with my cell phone or a cheap digital camera. I started out with the setup below and eventually moved up to a system that I purchased from <a href="http://www.macrocoins.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.macrocoins.com" rel="nofollow">http://macrocoins.com </a></p><p><br /></p><p>This cost effective setup is nothing more then a empty windshield fluid bottle with the top cut off and a small rectangle cut into the bottom through which to snap the photo. It sits on a dark ceramic tile to provide contrast and I used two lamps to provide lighting. The windshield fluid bottle is slightly frosted in composition so you won&#039;t need any diffusion on the lamps. I took a few quick shots for demonstration purposes and admittedly I didn&#039;t spend a lot of time trying to capture the best photo. In the end though it&#039;s a cheap setup that you can play around with until you move up to a better solution.</p><p><br /></p><p>Joe</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1077325[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077326[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077327[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077328[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077329[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077330[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077331[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
