<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2919396, member: 19463"]100% agree. I have six but never have all turned on at once for one photo. Since all I collect and photograph are ancients, the type light that is best for one coin may be all wrong for another. A few years ago I made this image showing three different lightings for three different coins. While there is always room for opinion, most people would not select as 'best' the same lighting for each coin but might prefer a different one for each. Each horizontal row used the same lighting arrangement for each coin. I never shoot moderns or slabs so I have no idea what to do for them. If you get a perfect image on your first shot every time, you are either a much better photographer than I or might need to experiment more. </p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/121829045.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
