[QUOTE="tulipone, post: 2361614, member: 71656"]I thought that I'd add the here - always interested in how folk take coin pictures. The problem I have had is with proof or shiny coins they always look black. I know now that is the camera reflection rather than a deliberate attempt to slur HM. Looking through the guidance here decided to try a bit of glass. Wow! See below my set up. And the results just a bit of glass makes. Helps to have a bit of paper the other side to reflect the light back also. [ATTACH=full]481794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]481796[/ATTACH] Work in progress. [IMG]http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/tulipone1/2016%20Phil%20Dark-side_zps2ryfgd6o.jpg[/IMG] I understand it is not up to the results you guys get, but loads of progress for me. To be clear, the dark left image is just without the glass - the right is with the glass only.[/QUOTE]
