<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 4570826, member: 112673"]I think there's some confusion about diffused lighting. Diffused lighting doesn't allow you to see any more of a coin, it simply reduces the contrast in the light. It softens it. If you want to see more of the coins detail, you need to change the quality and angle of the light falling on the coin. Changing the angle of the light, relative to the axis of the lens allows you to see more, because the light is not reflecting directly into the lens. This is exactly why I use axial lighting. I allows precise control of the direction, intensity and contrast of the light. Under such conditions, any camera will capture a great shot. Compare the details visible in the coin shots above to the detail visible in my shot below. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1131761[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah for axial lighting!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
