[QUOTE="Collect89, post: 1714471, member: 15445"]You can search the words proof photography here at CT. There are several threads where the experts discuss proof photography. Sometimes, the camera appears in the coin's mirrored field. For this problem, I sometimes use a piece of black cardboard with a hole in it that fits over the lens. (It is in the photo below). Sometimes diffused lighting can provide a high contrast cameo image with black fields. To diffuse the light I simply place a rolled-up piece of drafting paper (tube) over the coin. I shine the lamps onto the side of the tube & aim the camera down the tube. These photos including the black fields were taken with the diffused light set-up Have fun reading the previous threads & have fun experimenting. BTW, that is a nice photo of your gold coin. :thumb:[/QUOTE]
