<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2616839, member: 19463&quot;]My experience with colored backgrounds has been that the color tends to throw a cast in parts of the coin making it hard to color correct correctly. It is simple to shoot on black or white and add color if you must.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/132250014.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>White can also flare into the lens reducing contrast which is why I prefer black but I realize many of you like white.&nbsp; I guess I should work more on white background techniques but few choose to use my suggestions for black preferring to postprocess backgrounds.&nbsp; I do admit that ringlights can throw enough light straight down the tube making it necessary to clean up the background a bit but it really is not hard if you have the software.&nbsp; Perhaps those not wishing to get that far into it would be happier shooting on a background they like and just leave it in the photo. I&#039;m thinking of a table top with &#039;personality&#039; one of our number once used.&nbsp; Be creative.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://m3.i.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/97058063.DaeoMP9k.0tituscol.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
