Message:: [QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 4965722, member: 19165"]Not necessarily, at all. I can make a VF circ-cam have blowouts as easily as anything else. Could be an interesting idea for a thread. If someone else doesn't post a thread, I might work around with some bits and see if I can come up with something at all. The problem you're having with this coin is either:  - you have too many lights on it. I often use three lights, but find that when I use 2, the contrast is better. I'm not sure how many lights you're using, but seriously, try turning one off and see what happens. - the angle of your lights isn't right. Basically, the problem you have in these pictures isn't that your lights are too strong or that your exposure is wrong (as in CBD's original post). The problem you have here is that your contrast is wrong. In order to show relief, you need a contrast of highlights and shadows. In the picture you show, there is almost no shadow - its all highlight. Try lowering the angle of your lights to create more shadow, or turn off a light to reduce the saturation.[/QUOTE]
