<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1058375, member: 19065&quot;]Seems your light sources are at 10 o&#039;clock and 6 o&#039;clock. I usually go with 10 and 2. These images are a little dark, especially the reverse across the entire upper half of the coin, but you seem to have eliminated most of the color that was reflecting off the coin from the earlier image.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a low tech solution for dealing with reflective coins I suggest you try sometime. This can help reflect light toward the coin from the direction of the camera and eliminate reflection of the camera, your fingers, the background, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take a small sheet of white or black paper (depends on what effect you are trying to achieve), in the middle of the paper cut four small slits in a pizza pie/star shape. Make these slits long enough to insert your camera&#039;s lens through. This creates a flat white or flat black shield and eliminates a lot of distracting background reflection on the surface of the coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you like I can make a diagram or post a pic of how to create this simple paper shield.</p><p><br /></p><p>Slightly raising one edge of a coin from the plane of the lens also helps eliminate reflection of the camera.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
