<p>[QUOTE="Louie_Two_Bits, post: 1180017, member: 17748"]Yup, color is way off. Start by using 1 light, raise the light and try to get it as close as you can to the lens without touching it (or getting it too hot if you're using halogen or another hot bulb). Try setting your aperture somewhere between 5-8 and increase your shutter speed to 1/100 or faster. Place a piece of white printer paper or a gray card where the coin would be, and set your custom white balance setting using that lighting setup. Tinker around with all the above settings until you get it to where you want it. If you make any changes to the lighting, it is critical to reset your custom white balance setting for every lighting change you make.</p><p><br /></p><p>-LTB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
