Ok here it is. Kind of make shift as it where but works. Take note to the little box I put in front of the light source. Camera is not shown but goes on end of tripod above coin. Also very important you want to take the pics at night or if you can block all light into the room you have the setup. No external light other then what I have shown and on occasion, I will use a floating light source, I move around until I see a great image. Also Use the EOS Utility from canon on occasion but not necessary which tethers to a computer so you can see the pic before you take it full size.  Edited by Amadauss

That's a nice setup. Thanks. I have to figure out a simple way to be able to steady my cheap digital camera or my arms when I take the close up pics.

I would try to attach it to something that is solid and steady and then give it a go. Good Luck.
Or, if you do not want to get the expensive camera and lens, where I live, these photo places will rent a camera to you and if the rule applies to where they are closed Sunday, you can pick it up Sat morning and return it Monday with a one day charge and then just take both days and take shots of everything you have.

A photographer! You got to be kidding.  I just try to take pictures of things and look at what everyone else is doing and copy them. I cannot take credit for that glass setup. Found it on the web and gave it a try. Used the milk carton also a lot of times and now have the white box setup but I find it a pain to use the wax to stand the coin up if shooting a lot of pictures of coins. If only shooting one or two, I would use the white box all the time. I have used the white box for some jewelry pics that turned out great. Really bought the camera to take pics of my daughter swimming. It has evolved from there. Good luck with whatever way you try and hope you find the one that works best for you. Edited by Amadauss

There are some great photos here guys. I have an old film camera so I only get one shot at it, here are a few that came out well. This bust half has a cool circulated cameo look.   Next a modern commemorative with a deep cameo look.   |
