<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 5401647, member: 83845&quot;]I’ve seen you post your set up before and I think it looks nice. I like the idea of using a wood camera holder to reduce vibration and suspending the coin above a dark background. I am sure this makes it much easier to crop!</p><p><br /></p><p>My set up is metal and I know I sometimes get issues with vibration. I may construct a wood set up at some point to test.&nbsp; I also shoot against a simulated 18% gray background. This might be useful for color correction if I did post-processing with the RAW files but honestly I usually don’t even take the time to mess with that and just use the jpg files directly.</p><p><br /></p><p>I should also clarify since I was unclear in my initial post that I shoot the initial images in full resolution and only downsize to the 12x6 in post processing.&nbsp; I use guides with the software I use to make sure the photos are scaled properly.&nbsp; I haven’t checked but I think my unreduced initial shots are probably similarly sized to yours before I crop and move the coin to the 12x6 background. Then I save only the 12x6 post-processed shots and delete the initial photo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
