<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3358605, member: 19463&quot;]I know nothing about shooting modern coins but the three bright bars on the shiny coin really bothers me.&nbsp; I might experiment with the same stand and the lights moved to the inside edges of the &#039;roof&#039; so that the direct light (these LED&#039;s tend to be very directional, don&#039;t they?) would not hit the coin but illuminate the entire&nbsp; top with diffuse light.&nbsp; I have not tried this and any results I got shooting ancients would not apply to bright Morgans.&nbsp; I would enjoy playing with the idea, however.&nbsp; Thanks for sharing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Minor changes in light angle really make a difference in the result so I would also suggest playing with your same lights and rotating the coin so you get different angles. Below is the same coin shot eight ways with the same light but with rotation changing the angles.&nbsp; The differences are immense but you can visualize the results before shooting and select the one that you like best.</p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/09way.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
