[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3799432, member: 76086"]I dont know about professional setups, but an amateur one is incredibly easy and uber fast. Below are some pics of what I will describe. A medium grey background, in this case from a simple notepad turned over to its cardboard back. A small plastic tub used as a riser on which the coin sits. A cel phone (iPhone 6s) set on top of a couple coin boxes and some coasters (to get the right focal distance). 5k bulb, manipulated for each shot to get the right exposure. Very simple. A simple setup, I used by daughters phone to take the shot (which I dont ever use, so its crappy, but gives the idea): [ATTACH=full]1014646[/ATTACH] The two raw images stitched, and not resized at all: [ATTACH=full]1014647[/ATTACH] After the background is removed and image resized for web use: [ATTACH=full]1014648[/ATTACH] Certainly not a professional setup, but it works for most things. I have a very hard time getting a phone to get anything smaller than a hemidrachm without being very blurry.[/QUOTE]
