<p>[QUOTE=&quot;icerain, post: 2642170, member: 34514&quot;]The problem with the background is that if you&#039;re planning on cropping the coin later, its going to be tough. As far as lighting goes, 2 lights are fine. One aimed at 2 and one at 9 o clock. They should be high and not directly facing the coin, the camera should be close to the lamp. It also sounds like you are diffusing the light, this works for certain coins and not so much for others. Diffused light darkens the coin which highlights the toning and shadows while direct light will brighten up the coin. See which ones work for certain coins and also play around with how the lamps are angled, they do make a difference.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
