<p>[QUOTE="cwart, post: 9290358, member: 18487"]When I was using my phone I would put the lights at about 10 and 2 o'clock. It was enough to show the cartwheel on an uncirculated coin or give me a nice black field on a proof. If the color is off you may want to see if your phones camera app will let you adjust the white balance. Lights tend to bring color to the photo (usually yellow to red in my experience), but by adjusting the white balance you can bring a more natural tone to the picture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
