<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 339674, member: 112"]To capture toning and luster, you just need to find the right angle. Luster and toning are a matter of reflection. When you turn a coin in the light to see the toning or luster it only appears at a certain angle - yes ? Well your camera can only capture it at that same angle.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have 3 points to consider when trying to figure out the angle - the position of the light or lights, the position of the coin and the position of the camera. Get all three right and you will get your pics <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
