<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fish, post: 488027, member: 6034&quot;]As a matter of fact i do have that book!&nbsp; It&#039;s what inspired me to get a macro lens with a 1:1 reproduction ratio and a long minimum focal length, which necessitated the better copy stand.&nbsp; My lighting was tried at 4 and 8, 10 and 2, 4 and 10 - a number of locations on various pics (most of which you wouldn&#039;t have seen because I deleted them).&nbsp; And you&#039;re right, lighting is one of the hardest things to get right.&nbsp; I still need to work on that, maybe get some different lamps and bulbs.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as a mini-review of the book goes, here&#039;s my take: if you&#039;ve done a bit of reading on your own, it can point the way towards next steps, but if you&#039;re much more than a novice you won&#039;t be likely to get much out of it.&nbsp; Large swathes of the book could have been comfortably cut, and some general coverage of principles of photograhy would have made it a much more solid all-in-one numismatic macro photography reference.&nbsp; Long story short, the book is probably worth buying for most people but it won&#039;t solve all your problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
