[QUOTE="Daggarjon, post: 546117, member: 4230"]Thanks leadfoot :) To be honest, the bulbs are i use are zero % diffused. I have 3 bulbs about 6 inches away from the coin in a triangular pattern. The camera is set on a tripod in the center. I use the camera to filter out the light. If i 'unplugg' a bulb or two, then i get dark spots on the coin, with shadows from the raised portions. I do have a 'wall' i built that is coated with a transparent paper that can diffuse the light for that 'ominus' light look. But from testing, it blocks out too much light. I will put that in tonight and take a photo using the same settings as the last coin image i posted above. Plus i figured that if i can filter out the light using the camera, why use the diffuser wall. But i can see that even though i filter out thelight, the affects of the light, ie bleeching, is still there. If i cant get the lighting any better, then i may just have to accept that the images are good enough :) Thanks![/QUOTE]
