<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1338300, member: 33215"]Pictures are definitely better, though you may want to be more direct with the angle you point the camera. 3 lamps is definitely overkill especially if they are different bulbs. You might wanna try taking photos of the same coin with each different light to see what gets more "Accurate" photos of the coin, because lighting changes everything. I am using a Nikon D3100, and don't worry much about the lamps, I actually use the camera's flash capabilities and am getting very well photos with it.</p><p> [ATTACH]153723.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>(The white blotches are slab scratches, I need to buff them out)</p><p><br /></p><p>I can get photos of my setup soon, but now I am not with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand in order to get the toning, you do have to get a certain angle, but with the others without toning, I'd suggest a straight 90 degree angle from the coin to get the best pictures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I understand in order to get the toning, you do have to get a certain angle, but with the others without toning, I'd suggest a straight 90 degree angle from the coin to get the best pictures.[/QUOTE]
