<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8223099, member: 106826&quot;]Note my shoebox photo setup.&nbsp; I took a shoebox, placed a light at one end of it and a piece of glass from a broken picture frame.&nbsp; Using that grey/red can of mine, filled with quarters, I set the distance that is optimal for my iPhone 5.&nbsp; I use a small rubber knockout to raise the coin off the flat backing.&nbsp; Presently, my filter is some packing material, felt like (dryer sheet might be equivalent) on LED light I bought, but wasn&#039;t having great success with using.&nbsp; But it fits in the box and the filter diffuses the light.&nbsp; Positioning the glass at 45°, it redirects the light downward onto the subject coin.&nbsp; No shadows this way and only slight glare from the led light.&nbsp; Moving this back in the box might help to this regard.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, a box and packing material, repurposed instead of recycled.&nbsp; Picture frame glass too.&nbsp; The can came from a Christmas gift (maybe there was a watch in it?).&nbsp; Old iPhone when I decided not to trade it in and keep it for this specific purpose.&nbsp; Battery is shot...so it&#039;s purely a plug-in camera at this point.&nbsp; Easy to send pictures to my laptop for editing and posting.&nbsp; Some folks here have spent on some really nice setups.&nbsp; I was curious to see what I could do with leftover items...and it works pretty well.&nbsp; I see some of my earlier work and think that if I had the time, I could do them over and actually have something that represents what I have in hand...at least...a lot better than before.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
