<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2779134, member: 1892&quot;]I&#039;d rather know where the camers is placed, its&#039; distance from and orientation to the coin before offering advice. Generally, your best starting point is two evenly-spaced lamps at 10:00 and 2:00 to the coin. Distance does not much matter, but background very much does. A light background reflects its&#039; own light back into the lens, costing you contrast, and a colored or patterned background interferes with color correction.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Area&quot; lighting prohibits accurate depiction of luster, but direct lighting always creates areas of shadow and brightness. This is where experimentation comes in, because with lustrous coins you&#039;ll want some level of diffusion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
