<p>[QUOTE="howboutatrade, post: 1109451, member: 10387"]I agree the closer the better, and the more direct line the better for detail and depth. For reflection the key is changing the angle the light reflects to miss the camera. If you get close, that becomes impossible. If you stay in direct line, it does not matter how far you back up. This shot was taken from 3 feet away, in direct line and you still see the camera. Moving back 1' the angle can be changed slightly and light misses the camera. The method of up and to the left of range, the shots are the closest I can get without having a reflection issue or purchasing a new camera, lens and polarized filter. I am within 4 inches or so on those and I can keep the camera directly in a parallel line with the subject coin.</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH]111167.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
