<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1407025, member: 13650&quot;]First off, multiple different types of light sources is no good for any camera.&nbsp; You will have a hard time getting the pics to turn out in original color.&nbsp; You don&#039;t even want day light creeping in.&nbsp;&nbsp; I take my pics in the basement under a tensor light with all other lights turned off, so it&#039;s dark.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Then I manually set the white balance under that light using a sheet of paper.&nbsp;&nbsp; After that, accurate colors are obtained. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As for luster, I don&#039;t know any tips for that.&nbsp; It should automatically come out if it isn&#039;t drowned out by too many light sources.&nbsp; I know using one, two or three lights positioned at proper angles will produce different types/number of bands of luster on the coin.&nbsp; Too much light and the luster is drowned out.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; After you&#039;ve taken the above mentioned steps, try manually adjusting your ISO setting and F-stop, which will lighten or darken the picture to the desired affect.&nbsp;&nbsp; Under good lighting, you usually need to tone it way down in the camera.&nbsp; Flash should be off, obviously.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;That&#039;s my answer/opinion for the wee morning hours.&nbsp; I&#039;ve went to the bathroom and now I&#039;m going back to bed.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
