<p>[QUOTE="Razz, post: 9357834, member: 100526"]As Evan8 mentioned, a trick is to angle the coin up to 30 degrees to get the lighting correct. Especially on proofs and toned coins this helps get the black fields and the colors to pop without having to go to indirect or axial lighting techniques. The low f stop helps the focal length which helps to make the coin still look round and have all the details of the coin in focus.[ATTACH=full]1522162[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
