[QUOTE="ismael, post: 1199783, member: 451"]Thank you all for your comments! As I said I suck at grading :) HA! Here is another version based on your comments [IMG]http://images107.fotki.com/v159/photos/4/1233394/9809499/_IGP5268v3-vi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images58.fotki.com/v513/photos/4/1233394/9809499/centv3-vi.jpg[/IMG] As for the setup: I used a homemade lightbox with 2 remotely triggered photo slaves, one on each side The coins were standing/resting on a piece of acrylic at about 60 degrees I handheld the camera but a tripod is definitely needed. The camera is a Pentax K20D with a DA 18-55 AL II lens For the next attempt I'll try a K100DS camera with a 50f1.7 lens to improve on sharpness. Time! My most precious commodity! It may be a while before I can try it again. Thanks! Ismael[/QUOTE]
