<p>[QUOTE="Kryptonitecomic, post: 1357995, member: 26784"]I would never use axial lighting on a MS coin especially and MS coin that has no toning unless the MS coin where full PL or DMPL. You will get much better results using standard lighting methods (3 lights) and simply angle the coin slightly to give you full lighting coverage. Axial lighting is a pain in the butt and it only pays dividens if you are shooting proofs or MS coins with very PL surfaces as it can actually damage the luster in an image where the surfaces feature normal brilliant luster. You need a lot more light on your coin and you might get that with 3 LED lights but I would have to see the end results as I am skeptical but open to new methods I haven't tried. Good Luck and please update your photo's if you get the 3 light set up in place. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
