[QUOTE="hotwheelsearl, post: 2545884, member: 75143"]My setup is as simple as it gets. 1. LG G2 phone camera. I currently am looking to upgrade to a Nokia Lumia 1020, though! 2. "Lights of America" Sun Light Lamp. I have no idea where this is from, I've just had it on my desk for years now. The light bulb is that typical flourescent 4-tube bulb that is found in many other lamps. [ATTACH=full]546411[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546412[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]546410[/ATTACH] 3. If the light is too harsh, I use a piece of paper to diffuse it. 4. I usually angle the coin a bit by placing one end of it on top of another coin. This is because when shooting from directly above, the shadow of the camera or other device often gets in the way. There are inexpensive camera or phone rigs that have built-in lights that I am probably going to get at some point. But for now, a decent phone camera does the trick![/QUOTE]
