<p>[QUOTE="Topcat7, post: 2470018, member: 73372"]I have a Canon <i>PowerShot SX200iS </i>($70 second-hand, eBay), mounted on a camera stand ($14 eBay). The lamp is a battery/mains powered LED 'ring' light (with 3x magnifier removed) with two settings low/high ($6 eBay). The coin sits on blue-tak on top of a CD spindle that pokes through a piece of black velvet, and rests on 3x VHS cases (to get the coin high enough to use the 'Macro' setting on the camera).</p><p>A simple set-up, and I am happy with the result. (Note: I have turned the set-up sideways on the desk to take the photograph for you.) [ATTACH=full]519317[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The following photo was taken with my humble photo set-up, without any 'photo-shopping' afterwards. What you see is what you get.
