<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 3342358, member: 76086&quot;]I&#039;m still working on it!&nbsp; Its been years since I worked with my camera, so its like learning all over again.&nbsp; Light is the biggest issue.&nbsp; I&#039;m having to re-learn getting proper focus, distance, etc.&nbsp; I am anxious to try the lamp in this thread, which will be delivered tomorrow:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-new-favourite-coin-pic.332099/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-new-favourite-coin-pic.332099/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-new-favourite-coin-pic.332099/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another shot a few minutes ago:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]885036[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s pretty darned close to in hand appearance.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been lamenting the ill-advised disposal of my previous copy stand.&nbsp; When looking around now most are average $300 and up.&nbsp; On a whim I went to my local camera shop (and it is surprising one still exists in my small town).&nbsp; After a few minutes of talk and him telling me he could special order one (OK, I can do the same on Amazon), he went into the back room and came out with the monstrosity pictured below.&nbsp; It was covered in dust and cobwebs and smells like a combination of cigarette smoke and thrift shop.&nbsp; It is likely older than I am and certainly had been sitting neglected for decades.&nbsp; However, with a couple of parts I was able to make it work with a total investment of $58.99.&nbsp; The only thing is I cant get the lights to work correctly with the camera, it comes out too harsh/bright and the color isn&#039;t right.&nbsp; The above photo was shot with a single lamp directed from 12 o&#039;clock.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]885046[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
