<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1299664, member: 112&quot;]The best luck I ever had with taking coin pics was from using GE Reveal bulbs - 2 of them, 60w. And diffusing the light. It is also extremely important that ALL other light sources be turned off. The only light you want in the entire area are the lights you are using to take the pics. That especially includes daylight - meaning take your pictures after dark.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll have to experiment with everything for each different coin to get the best picture because each coin is unique so it will require unique conditions to get the best picture. And everything matters. The angle between the between the coin and camera, the angle between the lights and the camera, the angle between the camera and the coin, the distances from everything to everything else, and of course the settings on your camera.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve experimented with taking coins pics with everything you can imagine. From candles to flashlights and every type of light bulb there is. I&#039;ve even experimented with using Coleman lanterns. What I&#039;ve described above works best.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
