<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2796007, member: 29751&quot;]Your lights are currently hitting the coin from a low angle and to the sides of the coin.&nbsp; Move your lights to a higher angle and you will get bettering lighting of the devices of the coin, and you won&#039;t get the &quot;halo&quot; around the edge of the devices.</p><p><br /></p><p>Low angles show up as the devices being outlined by light, high angles show up as outlines of devices being &quot;shadow&quot; areas. In general, high angle is much better for showing luster, toning, and details of the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below are some pics I took to show this effect a few years back, and a diagram of what I mean by a &quot;higher angle&quot; for your lights.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photo_HowTo/Lighting_matrix_zps9cc2ba3b.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/bb364/brg5658/Photo_HowTo/Lighting_Schematic_zps8afa4412.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
