<p>[QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 6384427, member: 23122"]The lighting on my setup is adjustable, as can be seen if you examine the fixtures, and I did mention lighting that is nearly vertical (i.e. High Angle) which I also have on my setup. It just happens that the photo I used to show the setup had had a coin that I wished to show the edges of the details on and is not indicative of what all my coin photos look like. If one doesn't have a Copy Stand and still wishes to use a DSLR with Macro lens to take closeups, a reasonable setup would be a Tripod with a Head that can be rotated 90-degrees down and a pair of Light Stands, which for the angle that would be effective to illuminate a coin without casting shadows or being blocked by the lens/lens hood, and for being close enough to provide sufficient illumination for the exposure, could approximate 45 degrees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
