I don't know what a different back ground would do but the coins look a bit dark, first impression.

Yes, the coins do look a bit dark. This might be due to the image uploader and having to scale down the image? Not sure.

I will need to eliminate the black areas around the coins. I'll do this with rocky's idea to shoot the coin with the gray background. Any other suggestions?  |

ham looking good. ham there is a video of a Chinese lady. she photographing silver and nickel coins. her suggestion when shooting silver and nickel coins. that one should always use yellow drawing paper. it will help to bring out the lustre in the coins. it also does not cause shadows on ones coins. the video is on you tube. sorry I still don't know how to attach a link here. try that ham I did it does make a different. have a great one

rocky, to attach a link you highlight it in your browser, right click, select copy then just left click at the end of your message creating a blinking curser, then right click and select paste. Real simple once you get the "hang of it".

With the help of my wife, I think I have what I want in a collage. She picked the yellow border color. I preferred blue. Comments.  |

andywoj00, I used (4) Jansjo's with half dollar coin tube caps and one sheet of tissue paper for diffusion. I have also used (2) Ottlites (13 watt bulb) with very good results. Hamm

Thanks Ham1947 for the light info. Got 2 of those lights ordered from Ikea to see how they work for me. If good, I may get two more or pick up a couple from Walmart that are very similar. |
