[QUOTE="stealer, post: 957383, member: 26127"]I was trying out the diffused lighting technique that was originally posted by [B]Lehigh96.[/B] While playing around with my set up and I found something out. If you point the lighting source away (not directly at coin) it produces better (in my opinion) pictures of the coin.

The blue tinge that you see on the clearer picture is due to a blue light in the background that I need to find a way to cover up :o Sorry about the second picture being blurry.
