I am using a Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS and need some tips on getting better pictures. I got two iridescent lamps that I try to set up at around 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock to balance things and still show luster and detail, but I am not having much success. I also have a tri-pod to keep things stable. You can see some results on these threads

Thanks for any suggestions.

I use the exact camera.

Here is a trick I learned online.

They are not professional and not exactly what I am perfectly happy with - but for now they will do until I upgrade my camera someday.

Nice bugsbunny, and I will read through the other thread. Its details like the bugs bunny that I really wish I could catch. I think I have a few rpms, but would like opinions if I could get pics.

Hi,
Asked a Seller on ebay about his consistently fantastic images. He said his success has been for ALL his photos to be taken outside, natural daylight, and mid-morning... no artificial lighting.

Pretty good crew here with plenty of experience.

Personally I have used sunlight on almost every coin pic I took. Sometimes though the pics do not turn out like I would want just due to the nature of the coin (I guess). Here is a pretty pic, but to me it is a disappointment as it does not really show enough detail and correct color of the gold. The cameo effect glows too much:
