<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tulipone, post: 2456151, member: 71656&quot;]I still seem to have problems getting images of coins to a good standard.&nbsp; Lighting I think is part of the problem.&nbsp; I usually take pictures with a set up like this:</p><p><img src="http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/tulipone1/3a706cfa-bd6b-4940-93ff-e8f06bbe27e0_zps60thyorf.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the right is an LED panel and often use another LED to the right.&nbsp; Its okay, I get pictures like this:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/tulipone1/Old%20lighting_zpssbca6qff.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So thinking about lighting and had a brainwave of sorts.&nbsp; I&#039;m thinking that the lights need to surround the coin rather than just 10:00 - 14:00.</p><p><br /></p><p>The next big thing:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/tulipone1/test%20of%20lighting-3_zpswhrtolfn.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/tulipone1/test%20of%20lighting-2_zps0cxj0fth.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So an empty bank CD container with fairy lights.&nbsp; It is round, stable and even comes with a coin support in the middle.&nbsp; I was shocked with my brilliance and set about making it.&nbsp; The results are:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a415/tulipone1/lighting%20with%20glass_zpsflokfiby.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Holding a piece of glass over at 45 degrees cuts out some reflection but still not too much better.&nbsp; Back to the drawing board - and if anyone can think of what will improve the CD case idea, please let me know.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
