<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3591336, member: 19463&quot;]I continue to maintain that there is no such thing as &#039;the&#039; way a coin looks in hand.&nbsp; If you do not like what you see in hand, move the hand.&nbsp; If what you see is too dark, move into better light.&nbsp; If there is glare, move out of direct sun into softer shade. Coins give off no light but merely reflect the light that falls on them.&nbsp; It is our job to send/find light for the coin that will reflect back to us as we wish.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t like the way a coin merges with the background, send more or less light from the direction that causes the problem.&nbsp; Sometimes a small paper reflector is all it takes. The fault is not the color of the background or the coin but how we address the situation. See &#039;4&#039; below.&nbsp; This setup has been simplified but I have more setups from the past than I have photos of them.</p><p><img src="https://pbase.com/dougsmit/image/160721449.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
