<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 903377, member: 19463&quot;]I see the tops unnaturally dark if the lighting was actually axial but I&#039;ve never photographed a nickel so do not appreciate how this happened.&nbsp; I would suggest using the exact set up but rotating the coin 1/8th turn each time to produce a series of shots that should be the same if the light is perfectly axial (very difficult to do).&nbsp; You can then select the one where the glares and dark areas fall when you prefer.&nbsp; This will help most if your light set up is really not axial but only an approximation.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Actually shooting RAW files (if your camera allows) might allow you to retain detail in the shadows without having so much contrast that detail is lost on the other end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
