<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 2306335, member: 19065&quot;]It is indeed necessary to support high relief coins, and most coins to some degree, such that you evaluate the best angle to the light falling on the surface of the coin. Shooting a coin straight on, parallel to the camera, in many cases will not produce the most flattering image of the coin, whereas capturing the right reflection off the surface of the coin, can make it&#039;s character really sing. By all means, explore the best &#039;look&#039; for your coin shots and adjust the angle accordingly to the lights and lens. Too much of an angle and you will find areas of the surface out of focus, so only minor adjustments are necessary. This can be achieved by tilting just an edge of the coin very slightly, a millimeter or two, to see a dramatic effect. A lot of coin pics even use this to hide defects and make surfaces appear nicer than they are, so knowing how a coin looks in an image can help inform you when you&#039;re looking at others&#039; photos of what may be hidden from view or deceptive in nature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
