<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2227445, member: 19463"]I decided to play around with lighting coins for photos again this weekend so I brought home a few of my favorite subjects for reshoots. Some may recall that I kept my coins in red flocked trays for several years before moving them into paper envelopes. Tonight's experience proves that I really need to clean coins before shooting. Look at the tiny red fibers from those trays. The two cropped sections show the full size of the image as shot. Both have fibers but the one of the shield has at least twenty. True, you can't see them at a normal size but I really need to use a camel hair brush to sweep coins before shooting. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I'll be shooting this coin again over the next three days. I wonder if I can get a 'clean' one. It will take years for me to escape the residue of the red flocked trays I liked so much. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]437392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]437391[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
