[QUOTE="Stoneman2, post: 2669713, member: 86886"]I probably should claim my photo rig is some pristine thing but as you see in the pics "it ain't". I recommended a white background because it will help your camera's auto white balance select as close a color temperature to daylight as your lights and camera can get. This will give you a close rendition to the colors your brain thinks it see's. I use a old 20 gauge shot shell to raise a coin above a dark surface to get the black background and I know my lights and camera settings so I can select the correct temp. for true color in post processing. You can go ahead and chuckle at my crude photo rig !
