<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ldhair, post: 517754, member: 11540&quot;]Having a copy stand is a great way to take coin images. I bought just the 36&#039;&#039; post from B&amp;H Photo and made the base to fit the table I was using. </p><p>With a Sigma 150 Macro I&#039;m on my toes imaging 3&#039;&#039; medals but anything smaller is really easy. A good stand with an SLR and a macro lens takes away much of the learning curve of taking nice images. It&#039;s also really helpful to have software that will let you remote shoot. I&#039;m using what came with a Canon Rebel. Once you focus the camera you do everything including the settings at the PC using the mouse. Not having to touch the camera to take the shot is a good thing. Once the image is shot it comes up on the PC. This saves a lot of time. It helped me to take notes on how each image was shot till I learned what worked best for each type of coin.</p><p>No matter how good you get there is always that coin that takes 50 images to catch the real look.:crying:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
