[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 781488, member: 66"]First turn off the flash on the camera and use the lights to provide the lighting. The milk jug suggestion is to use the jug as a diffuser so the light source is spread over an area instead of a single intense spot. The reason I said to use a second light source is because once you turn off the flash and use the diffuser you will tend to have one side of the coin well lit and the other side too dark. By using a second light source set about 120 degrees from the first it tends to provide more light (making exposure easier) and illuminates the dark side plus remove any harsh shadows.[/QUOTE]
