<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tonedcoins, post: 640201, member: 25155&quot;]Copy Stand, the best! Lighting, I use a regular lamp with a 30 watt CFL bulb/ The lamp 2ft above the coin the same as the camera. But for my camera to take pics from that far, I have a big macro lens. The lighting right above the coin as close as possible to the camera (if the coin has toning). If the coin is white and you want to capture the luster and cartwheel, try moving the lighting towards the back of the coin. If you have the coin in a flat surface, the camera should be right on top or else if you have the camera on an angle and the coin flat ( it will not focus) on the entire coin. Also like I said, a stand, tripod is good or better to minimise blur. But My nikkon came with a remote control so I dont even touch the camera when snapping the pic. Good luck and you&#039;ll get better with time. I am not a pro but have gotten better from when I first started. :hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
