[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 780192, member: 19456"]Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll give them a try! I agree that it is too bright, but to get it dialed down to not be overpowering, the coins aren't clear. Something to work on. For the second light source...I've tried that...and no matter what I do (what manual setting I try), it's still just a flash of white. (even on copper). Any suggestions? Is it possible my bulb is too much? It's a 100 watt bulb. I have some 60 and 40 watt bulbs, should I try them? The flash on my camera is exceptionally bright as well. Diffusing that should help though. I'm not sure I understand what you all mean by cutting up a bottle...My lens on my camera is larger then a half dollar so that might be a problem! I'll try diffusing first, but I will play around with a few things.. Thanks again for the advice, and more pictures will be forthcoming soon. I have also found it impossible to get anything if they are not in plastic...all fuzzy would be the best way to describe it...I know putting them in the holders is not the best solution (especially when the holders are scratched and beat up!) but right now it's either that or nothing.[/QUOTE]
