<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1724294, member: 19065&quot;]Correct, white isn&#039;t neutral at all, it&#039;s the prescence of all colors, and black is the opposite, devoid of all color, making a point between them, neutral.&nbsp; 50% neural gray papers sold in large sheets or more rigid mat board (used in framing pictures), can be picked up from an art supply shop or framing shop.&nbsp; Put this behind your coin and give it a try if you like. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;White can be quite challenging to shoot some subjects against, particularly light colored metals.&nbsp; White surfaces are very reflective and bounce light all around when surrounding a subject being photographed.&nbsp; The same is true of a single color influencing the color in a shot.&nbsp; It&#039;s not impossible nor discouraged to shoot coins against while backgrounds, but it might not be right for what you want out of your shots sometimes. </p><p><br /></p><p>It all just takes a lot of fiddling and trials, but eventually you&#039;ll find what you are most happy working with and I think you&#039;ve become aware from your trails that we don&#039;t just look at the subject matter (the coin or it&#039;s toning) but we have to see the qualities of the light and what its role is in representing the subject in a shot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
