<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 4516243, member: 41219&quot;]After rearranging the ancients in FFIVN and my collection today, I decided to bust out the light box that Mrs. FF gave me for my birthday last week. The set up was incredibly simple and it the LEDs plug in via USB. </p><p>It is a rather large box (like 18x18) so shooting coins was a bit difficult. I first laid one on the base and shot through the hole in the top. It turned out nice but didn&#039;t show the true colors.</p><p>Example:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1118993[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>When I held the coin up closer to the light source, the coloring showed a lot better. Example:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1118995[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1118994[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, holding the coin made me a bit shakey and the pictures came out a bit blurred.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I need to get something so that coin is closer to the light source. Perhaps a stack of books or something.</p><p><br /></p><p>I took pictures of some other coins just to see how they turned out. I think once I get the lighting right, they will look far and above better that what I was taking with my phone previously.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Do any of you use light boxes? If so, how do you get your coins to be in the best light source? Here are some other pictures:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1118996[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1118997[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1118998[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1118999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1119000[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1119001[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1119002[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Tagging [USER=10461]@lordmarcovan[/USER] because he was interested in how the lightbox worked out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
