[QUOTE="Clawcoins, post: 3533383, member: 77814"]Yes but I used to be a professional photographer so I have quite a bit of "stuff" available to me. but a simple method is to use reflective lighting. For instance, if you have white posterboard, or even white sheets of paper. Turn the light towards the paper/posterboard and let the light reflect from that. You can put the posterboard around 3 sides which will help in lighting being reflective and bouncing around (getting rid of the direct, hard reflections) and being softer. There's also ppl here who do a lot of coin photography and use bellows and other techniques/hardware to accomplish really spectacular details in coin images. you'll want to search around for that section/threads. I usually just grab my cell phone, but my lighting is usually better than most ppls even if I'm using existing room lighting because I pay attention to those little things .. though not all the time. lol[/QUOTE]
