So the question really is how do you get a nice shot of a brilliant coin without a diffuser? Here is a coin I shot with a diffuser, and I believe I have controlled the brilliance vs. detail correctly. What would you have done different? BTW, you (or anybody) can be brutally honest, my feelings cannot be hurt :) [ATTACH]202922.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
