[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1730083, member: 22585"]First thing to do is lose the black cardboard. The best color to use is grey, specifically a photography grey board. White is also better than black. This makes a huge difference when it comes to your cameras white balance. The best setup, in my opinion are two desk lamps. To capture toning, try turning your white balance down. Place the lights as closely over the coin you can without actually reflecting on the coin. My setup: [IMG]http://beta3.thecoinnection.com/assets/images/tutimages/hardware0.jpg[/IMG] Here is an example to show how the lights are shining on the slab. Adjust them at 10 and 2, or however highlights the particular series best.
