<p>[QUOTE="bqcoins, post: 1908037, member: 5036"]Actually, with a decent camera, a copy stand and multiple types of light you can experiment with photos until you get shots that are the most representative of the coin in question. For example, when I shoot a slab I actually use a sheet of wax or parchment paper to diffuse the flash on my camera to reduce glare, while increasing lighting and the images are close to what the coins look like. For coins outside of the slab I use florescent axial lighting for toned coins and diffused axial lighting with incandescent bulbs for white coins. Backgrounds can also change the way a coin appears, silver looks best on black, gold can go on black or white, red copper can be on a multitude of colors but red seems to be the best and brown copper actually really pops on pink card stock.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
