<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 3327914, member: 76086"]I knew someone might ask. Honestly it was taken with an iPhone. I havent pulled out my DLSR for a couple of years. The phone takes just as good photos (for my needs) and there are no cables or cards to deal with to transfer the pics (since I have an iMac all I do is push a button on the phone and they just transfer magically through the air). Unfortunately I got rid of my copy stand a couple years ago, so I have devised a method of stacking coin boxes next to a plastic container (which is semi-transparent) with a grey backing. I just lay the phone on the boxes and shoot the coins that way. Its a bit of a redneck type setup, but it works. I'd like to get another copy stand, but they seem to be $200 and up nowadays (the last one I bought was $20).</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, it was just a single light, which is why there are shadows at the bottom.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
