<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 211367, member: 4552&quot;]Here is something that seldom fails. Take the photos outdoors. On a bright day, not raining of course, place your coins on a black surface. Not in direct sunlight but in a place where there is lots and lots of lighting. Usually ourdoors light comes from all sides and you will not have the shadows of the camera on the coins. I usually use a black Bar-B-Que grill and the patio type umbrella stops direct sunlight from creating glare. With sufficient lighting from all sides you can move as close as you want without shading. </p><p>As already noted that link to table top studios is great. </p><p>As to camera equipment, so much depends on the lens of your camera. If the front lens is threaded for filters, you could look into the filter ring type magnification lenses. Most camera stores would not have them but photography supply houses should pending your filter ring size. I always suggest asking for a catalog from <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com" rel="nofollow">www.bhphotovideo.com</a>&nbsp; Largest supplier of photo equipment I know of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
