<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2399942, member: 19165"]The key to lighting Franklins is to not overlight them (as your pictures are). There needs to be a bit of contrast, to show the relief. Try adjusting the lights (especially the reverse) to the 12 o'clock position: for a Franklin, the bell lines are key. Only certain lighting angles will show the bell lines, and you want to take advantage of that (through use of contrast/shadows).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
