<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lkeigwin, post: 1171780, member: 30400&quot;]I like halogen. I always start there. I have others, like Reveal and Otts, but I almost always get better results with two halogens, high, and almost directly above the coin, at 10 o&#039;clock and 2 o&#039;clock. I sometimes use a third halogen flood light which I move around by hand while looking at the display on the LCD screen.</p><p><br /></p><p>All lighting has side effects you should counter with post-processing s/w. Halogen, for example, is a little too red so I tone down that color in order to get the image as close to reality as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s what the set-up looks like, though it&#039;s no longer on the floor. LOL. I also use a longer lens (180mm) than in the photos (100mm) so I can get the camera farther from the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The below halogen bulb can be screwed into any ordinary socket. Same for the halogen flood lights I use in the goose neck lamps.</p><p>Lance.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/BeselerCS-14Sonya300dSLR28-100mmMac.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg37/lkeigwin/DSC07356.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
