[QUOTE="No_Ragrets, post: 25212405, member: 151874"]Thank you for your detailed reply! I currently only use the camera on my phone (s22 ultra) which I admit I am woefully inexperienced with. There are settings on it that I need to read up on and get familiar with, as well as other individual apps dedicated to using the camera to it's fullest potential. Doing this would be my most frugal means to capturing better images, as I am still more interested in using my spending money on acquiring more coins. I have access to all sorts of lighting, but it's generally meant for area lighting. I had a few smaller led lights that I was going to rig up on a electronic dimmer switch but I had to install them in a customer's house before I was able to try that out. I was able to use a ring light behind a diffuser (of sorts) but I agree on perhaps needing to diffuse the light more to reduce glare. As I come across other materials to play with the lighting, I'll be setting these aside for more trial-and-error attempts. All in all, I'm happy with how my pictures are coming along but wholly admit I am far from them being great examples. Thank you again for your help, and I'll see if I can get my hands on that book![/QUOTE]
