<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToughCOINS, post: 2198254, member: 20480&quot;]I know my photos are improving daily, and it probably looks like I&#039;ve bought something magical to achieve these results, but I am really just a novice at this.&nbsp; If you must know, I just shoot a lot of photos and select the best from them.&nbsp; It&#039;s more work than I&#039;d like to do, but I want good results.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the equipment, I use a Nikon D50 with Tokina 100mm F2.8 Macro lens on a 24&quot; copy stand, and two 100W GE Reveal halogen bulbs in a couple of old Dazor medical examination lamps.</p><p><br /></p><p>I set the coins on a grey card to automatically get my reference for white balance into the background of the photo, and I touch up the photos with Photoshop if necessary.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have to acquire another item for very precisely angling coins when trying to shift the glare off of coins in holders.&nbsp; I&#039;ll try to remember to let all know how that works out.</p><p><br /></p><p>- Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
