[QUOTE="Ed Zak, post: 27481, member: 824"]Plastic, frosted milk/water gallon jugs are the same here and there. They are translucent to light, hence the diffusing aspect of this. You want light to get through the jug, but after it gets through, you want it diffused! I use a basic tri-pod pointed down (almost at a 90 degree angle) to the coin. Here's where I got the idea from. The only thing I added was the black porous background and the use of 2 GE Reveal 100 watt lights (angled). [url]http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/essays/vanRiper/020809.htm[/url][/QUOTE]
