[QUOTE="tmoneyeagles, post: 632889, member: 17557"]I got two lighting sources: A regular lamp to go over the slab from the right, then I got my halogen lamp and the neck bends, I bent the neck down to go almost in front of the coin but not quite, maybe a few inches to the left of the coin itself, so there would be no glare on the camera and the slab. So after that I took the pictures, taking the camera at different angles, but working the camera vertically instead of horizontal, as that seems to work better, and no more flash now, that helps A LOT, it makes it so nothing is over exposed or too bright, and gives it a good color. After that I crop the photos, then upload them in photoscape, I crop them again, roundly, so that I have just the coin, and have it in a black background, I do that for the obverse and reverse. Then I combine those two photos, make them into one, then combine that photo with the label, and that is how I make my photos :)[/QUOTE]
