Message:: [QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1423759, member: 22585"]I went through this exact same issue snapsalot, until I managed to figure it out after much trial and error. As Gary mentioned, it's all about light control. Here are a couple of things to try. Assuming you are using 2 lights. Everyone has their own way of doing it, some use copy stands and such, but this is just a quick example of some ways to try with lighting. Practice, practice, practice. Get good bulbs, like GE reveal.Adjust your brightness control on the camera. The more light directly on the coin, means turn your brightness down.MM's make a difference when adjusting the lights. Use your view screen on your camera to see the difference.Sometimes angling your coin slightly will make a big difference as well.Use a photo editing program to adjust the images if necessary. Specifically, brightness and contrast. EDIT: Wanted to mention, I shoot in my basement with just the desk lamps on, nothing else. No other lights on. Try out these configurations.<img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii8261564f94a09553df2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii8265874f94a09b0e2ef.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii8263774f94a09e77b0d.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
