<p>[QUOTE="howboutatrade, post: 1109402, member: 10387"]From the research I have done, if you want to get a close up picture of a reflective surface you need a nice camera with a polarized filter added to it. This filter cuts the reflection coming at the camera. I did not want to spend the $$ to go that route, so I played around and developed this technique. I have the coin reflecting a dark room, so the reflection is black. I can make it reflect any color just by changing what is in front of the coin...and that is better than my camera, fat fingers, etc. How about red?</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH]111166.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
