<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jperry, post: 71609, member: 3614&quot;]My recommendation for an inexpensive method (thanks to all the members here that helped me with this)</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Tripod (I bought a small travel tripod for less than $20)</p><p>2. Black background (old t-shirt or piece of cloth)</p><p>3. Lighting (two inexpensive desk lamps and flourescent (because they stay cool) daylight bulbs - less than $20)</p><p>4. Lighting diffusion (plastic grocery bags over lights - free with grocery purchase)</p><p>5. Turn on the macro function (usually a button with a flower icon)</p><p>6. Turn off the flash</p><p>7. Check your camera manual for the minimum macro focus distance (you won&#039;t get a clear shot with the camera closer than this) and set to spot focus if possible</p><p>8. <b>Take a lot of pictures </b> with different lighting and angles, then choose the best.</p><p>9. Circulated coins are easier to photograph than MS or PF which require more work and experimentation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have fun and be patient.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
