<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robec, post: 2228641, member: 19094&quot;]The paper is called Canson Opalux Translucent Paper. The size of each sheet is 19&quot;x24&quot;. The cost is a bit expensive at just under $3 per sheet, but it lasts a long time. I bought 10 sheets 4 years ago. I gave away half of it and still have 3 unused sheets. It is almost like a cross between paper and plastic.</p><p><a href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/canson-opalux-translucent-paper/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/canson-opalux-translucent-paper/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dickblick.com/products/canson-opalux-translucent-paper/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The direction of the lights change. Sometimes I have the lights shooting across the coin, like shown in my photos. Other times I have the lights going straight down. It depends a lot on the coin. I try multiple angles on every coin and use whatever looks best. </p><p><br /></p><p>The deflector/reflector I use behind the lens is taped to a sheet of card stock (for a more rigid deflector) with some aluminum foil in between. For the LED lights I cut out two circle shaped pieces of the paper for each light and tape over the head. Without these for diffusion the lighting would be to harsh</p><p><br /></p><p>I use it mostly as fill lighting. White shiny metal may need it a little less than copper, but I always practice with and with out it when ever I change coins. It&#039;s just whatever works best for you. Some don&#039;t like LED lights for one reason or another. They just work for me. As long as the white balance is set it doesn&#039;t really matter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
