<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2425752, member: 1892&quot;]Don&#039;t get me wrong; I&#039;m utterly fascinated by it. For our purposes, given the relatively uncomplicated circumstance of coins with their lower relief, it&#039;d be easy to rig a hemispherical LED array and in conjunction with remote shooting software script the entire shooting and lighting sequence into a one-click affair. Given the 45-50mm diameter of duplicating lenses, you could come closer to true vertical lighting than their full-frame lens setup.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, rather than requiring the viewer to download and implement a software solution, you just pick and choose among the shots to create an HDR composite 2D image of the coin with no lighting weaknesses. Instant forum-postable, gradable imagery. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another potential usage is in conjunction with rmpsrpms&#039; 3D imaging/.gif technique. Mount the camera - something like a Canon SL1, which barely exceeds 14 ounces - on a ball mount/arm, and vary camera position just like you do the lighting. That would require an open lighting framework rather than the matte black enclosed hemisphere I&#039;m envisioning from above, therefore stricter environmental lighting control, but the result would be imagery of sufficient resolution to identify detail features without additional magnification.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>That&#039;d</b> require me to go to 32GB of RAM in my computer, I think. <i>Serious</i> CPU crunching required. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>You gotta see this, [USER=31773]@rmpsrpms[/USER].[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
