<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 5141535, member: 111067&quot;]OK, what I have I find works very well, just a shame it can&#039;t improve my photography skills.</p><p>A semi opaque plastic container with one side cut out.Scope in the centre, and I have three masts of different heights to attach it to depending on the diameter of the coin. This sits on a matte black sheet of card so no light is bouncing around. The coins sit on either a bottle top or a piece of 5mm cork, again on matte black card because the base of the scope holder is very shiny.</p><p>One main, large overhead medium wattage bulb with a black card underneath, again to minimise light reflections.</p><p>Two variable brightness LED lights on flexible stalks for maximum positional variables. As you can see the coins are the only things reflecting light up into the camera lens.</p><p>Also on the left is a piece of white card I can position anywhere if I need to bounce more light somewhere.</p><p>On the right is a piece of oven paper with a card frame which I use as a diffuser if necessary between one of the lights and the coin.</p><p>For coins larger than a nickel I generally use my Sony DSLR. I simply rotate the scope out of the way and put my tripod and camera directly above the whole setup.</p><p>Might not be for everyone but it works for me</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1206465[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
