<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3328064, member: 19463&quot;]The number of lumens is the least important figure.&nbsp; If the light is dim, you just have to leave the shutter open longer to compensate. This image was exposed at 10 seconds f/10 with one small daylight balance twist CFL positioned so no light fell directly on the coin.&nbsp; The photo is not as pleasing since there is not much you can do adjusting light under those circumstances and this coin needs help with the contrasty toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]881806[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly hard to adjust is the sun.&nbsp; This was taken inside near a window but with no direct sun hitting the coin. In either case you can tilt the coin slightly and change some of the reflection patterns.&nbsp; The daylight shot really plays down the texture/tone problems on the face.&nbsp; I would call truth somewhere between these two shots so they are both destined for the trash.&nbsp; Which looks like the coin?&nbsp; Both do according to where you are when you are looking.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]881808[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
