<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 7319544, member: 118430"]Ok this is a picture of my portrait studio. The left and right bulb are daylight LED. The center one is a daylight CFL. Both came from home depot and the clamp lights you can get anywhere. Obviously I had this nice shelf on the wall to clamp to. Your black background is one of the worst things you could have going on. I have attached a screenshot of my camera settings. You want the aspect ratio set to 1:1 and use your timer. Find something to prop your camera with. I actually have a dragon candle holder that works perfect until I want to do small coins. I'm going to get more white foam board to do the sides with next. You just play with the lighting angles until you get it right. The cfl CAN at times make a coin look cleaned. You have to pay with it more at times. That light can also make small scratches look like gouges. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1279278[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1279279[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1279280[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
