<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2760209, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m torn between 1 and 4.&nbsp; If the white paper is reflecting too much light (#2) I&#039;d try replacing it with gray paper to reflect some light but not as much.&nbsp; You are driving me to play with some variations but the question is which coin gets the workout.</p><p><img src="http://www.pbase.com/dougsmit/image/91971253.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>My first efforts with my first ring are shown in this 2008 shot.&nbsp; Unfortunately the image hides the direct lights (two CFL&#039;s behind the lens).&nbsp; I still prefer mixing ring and direct but have replaced both lights with adjustble models which have a little closer color balance to each other.&nbsp; I have a severe problem taking images I like but not being able&nbsp; to repeat results because I change something inadvertently.&nbsp; I do not care for your sestertius results but I can give a qualified thumbs-up to the silver #4.&nbsp; Does it need a tiny bit more contrast to restore sparkle?&nbsp; That probably depends more on our monitor settings than on the lighting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
