<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kangayou, post: 850285, member: 23111&quot;]<b>Reflective coin surfaces</b></p><p><br /></p><p>When trying to capture the details of a moderately reflective silver coin, I decided to experiment with specular lighting . diffuse lighting , ambient lighting &amp; reflective lighting ( which some folks call &quot;fill light&quot; ). The results can be pretty dramatic. I found I can cause the coin to reflect the colors and textures of it&#039;s surrounding&nbsp; environment. This may not be the best way to photograph coins with the intended purpose of resale , but IMHO it can become an art form in and of itself.</p><p>I have posted examples of photos taken with only defuse and ambient lighting and then examples of adding reflective lighting for a more dramatic effect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
