[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1452944, member: 22585"]lol. No secret sauce. I use two goose neck desk lamps with regular 60 watt "white" bulbs. The bottom line is, the smallest adjustments on lighting position will have a large impact on the coin. Especially if we are talking about lustrous and silver coins. I wish it was easy to explain. But I can't. It took me over a year to figure it out. But now, I always think to myself, 'How did I not figure this out sooner'. I wish I had the time to put together a complete video tutorial from lighting, to camera setup, to post-edit. I really would like to help everyone. Keep in mind also, I only recently improved. No doubt I do not know everything. I can only guarantee my results if you have my camera and my lighting. I am still learning. Consistency is the hardest thing, especially since I do not use a tripod or copystand. These are some pictures from about 8 months ago, and I thought they were good.
