<p>[QUOTE=&quot;biged239, post: 1199145, member: 29948&quot;][ATTACH]126285.vB[/ATTACH]McBlzr</p><p>I read forums and googled for three months before I came up with a great way to take good coin pics. I built a stand for my camera (see Pic.) There are a few settings that I had to adjust on my camera. First you have to have the camera in Micro setting. This is for close up pics of small objects. My camera I leave in Auto focus. Some will tell you you need to use in manual. Set your shutter speed, and white balance depending on your camera. With the stand I built you can move the camera up and down from 1&quot; to 12&quot; inches. I do not use but a very little zoom from camera. </p><p>On some coins I will only use one light. On silver I use two high lights. You will have to play with the angle of light to achieve what view you want. </p><p>I use the auto timer on camera so I am not touching anything when the picture is taken. </p><p>you can see some examples at my web site at this link. Nothing for sale on my site.</p><p><a href="http://www.edstreasure.com/my_lincoln_wheat_cents.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.edstreasure.com/my_lincoln_wheat_cents.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.edstreasure.com/my_lincoln_wheat_cents.htm</a></p><p>The stand was the trick for me more than the camera, as for as taken good coin pics. You can buy a copy stand at amazon are camera supply store online for about $150.00 to $250.00. The lights are not included and run about $80.00. I built my stand for less than $50.00 with lights I got from Home Depot for $9.99 each.</p><p>Big Ed[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
