[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 24726893, member: 77413"]The post in [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/posts/2949112/']Post your coin photography set-up[/URL] shows my camera setup. There’s a thread on how the process developed: [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/animation-and-coin-photography.297411/'][I]Animation[/I] and Coin Photography[/URL]. The thread starts with some early attempts, and the process improves with suggestions from other members and improvements with the process. In short, I put my camera stand on a turntable and light the coin with two or three lights from above. I focus on the coin, tweak the position of the lights, and adjust the exposure to suit. Then I take a picture, rotate the camera+coin platform a bit, take another picture, and repeat for 9 photos. The relationship between the camera and coin never changes - just the rotational position under the lights.[/QUOTE]
