[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1435174, member: 22585"]Ken, I am trying to gather my thoughts and express them coherently. I have some ideas that I believe will solve your dilemma. I do know the answer is not diffusing the light, or anything like that. It is light position and how direct/indirect they are on the surface. The biggest thing I have learned is that even the slightest adjustments (mm's) make large differences. It's hard to explain, so I will make some visual aids. Bear with me, I'm at work. In the meantime, answer me this: Are you using two lights? Are your coins on a flat surface, or standing on its edge when you image them? -greg Ps. That is awfully nice of you to group me in with Paul and Lance's skills.... I am still a newbie and learning something everyday. I am sure they will cringe when they read that. :)[/QUOTE]
