<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Razz, post: 3358980, member: 100526&quot;]I just got this stand today at the big box for $17. It holds a cell phone perfectly flat to the surface you are shooting at about 8 or 9 inches. If you need to adjust higher just put it on a book. The biggest challenges I find to coin photos is lighting and focus. According to Scott Kelby&#039;s The Digital Photography Book you want to turn off the phone&#039;s flash and get the light source the farthest you can from your subject but get the diffuser such as tissue or whatever and the camera lens as close as you can.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are two photos one with and one without tissue for the diffuser. Just one light source at 2 o&#039;clock. I think another light at 10 o&#039;clock would improve the image some as well. These are right through the slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]889974[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]889975[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]889976[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
