<p>[QUOTE="sjlund, post: 1404443, member: 36879"]My advice to you will be similar to pballer above - make sure you use macro mode, more distance between the coin and the background, and fix your white balance. These are critical steps - if you skip any of them, your results will likely not be what you want.</p><p><br /></p><p>For your specific question, no, I don't think you need two lights. I would guess that the glare at the top of the coin is actually a reflection of the lamp/bulb directly. Make sure you are lighting more from the edge of the coin and less from above it. This becomes much easier when you separate the coin from the background, such as in my example setup above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
