<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1431179, member: 36248"]Nikon D7000 with Sigma 50mm Macro lense. Crappy tripod, nice 5500K bounce light, but I really need two. I end up trying to avoid the glare off the slab from the single light, and then the images look too dark. I shot at f8 and between 1/20 and 1/30 second I think, letting the ISO bounce around as needed. I am really into camera gear for photos of the kids/kids sports, but shooting coins is a whole other animal. Kennedy Proofs I did last night were really tough, and now that I look at the white NGC holder, they all look grey. Good enough for insurance purposes, but not really anything to post here and brag about.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'll keep playing with it, as you should too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and if anyone here has Adobe Lightroom 3 or 4, Tethered shooting directly from camera to PC is really the way to go.
