<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3305226, member: 1765"]Start without the camera. Close one eye. Hold the coin at roughly the camera's working distance from your opened eye. Keeping the angle and distance from your eye constant, move around in the room light until you see the colors you want. Look to see where the coin is relative to the light. Rotate the coin around the axis between your eye and the coin, as if rotating it on your copy stand base, in case there are advantageous views due to the shape of the coin or it being slightly tilted in the holder. Put the coin under the camera and duplicate the light position. This actually works better than it sounds like it would.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
