[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 4357737, member: 77413"]I appreciate the compliment, and especially the challenge to explain it all. Of course, the answer is primarily “lighting”. And, a lens that focuses closely and does not distort the image. Fortunately, I think most of this is explained in two threads: [LIST] [*][URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/animation-and-coin-photography.297411/']Animation and Coin Photography[/URL] [*][URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-coin-photography-set-up.229658/page-7'][SIZE=4]Post your coin photography set-up[/SIZE][/URL] [/LIST] In these threads, I give credit to who supplied my current photography setup.
