<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 5389348, member: 19463&quot;]I believe you are demonstrating that some coins respond to axial lighting while others look better with directional light.&nbsp; CNG does not have time or inclination to treat every coin as an individual.&nbsp; You can. Overall, I prefer some direction to coin lighting but fill to soften shadows is usually good.&nbsp; For years I have been showing these same comparison shots using three different lighting methods.&nbsp; Perhaps I should update them but they make the point that not all coins looks best using one system.</p><p>Top: ringlight</p><p>middle: directional with fill (artificial)</p><p>bottom: north facing window (diffused)</p><p><img src="https://a4.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/96356070.jJxTuxML.0b01786trio.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://a4.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/96356068.GxB3GASQ.0b00589trio.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://a4.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/96381181.2GDDxHee.0b00866trio.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://a4.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/96234810.7K74s8BV.0b01559trio.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://a4.pbase.com/o2/88/582688/1/96234802.szCeChY9.0b00040trio.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
