BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 3:25 pm Sorry I know this has come up before but I would like to see the set up that anyone of you use to take pictures. Things like a picture of the lighting, the stand you use do you have a box with lights around it don't care if your set up looks good just need ideas. Bruce. Report this Post to the Staff

Joeyuk Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 4:20 pm Very basic set up. I use the lamp shade to diffuse light for proof coins. I vary the lights and have them shine directly dowm for MS coins. Report this Post to the Staff
BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 5:37 pm Joey. What type of light bulb is that on the left side light, and will a lamp shade work with a tripod ? Bruce. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 5:42 pm After two years of looking, I've finally acquired the Testrite CS-3 copystand I've been hunting. So, I have to completely revamp my imaging setup. Be looking for it in the near future, along with sample pics. Report this Post to the Staff
Ken_3567 Pillar of the Community United States 651 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 5:47 pm Bruce, I'm not sure if you need this but just in case here's a link on how to adjust the tint feature of your camera depending on the light bulb source. You'll see photo's of coins and it's there you will find the -/+ tint settings. http://coinimaging.com/Lighting_shootout.html -Ken Report this Post to the Staff

Joeyuk Valued Member United States 383 Posts	Posted 04/07/2007 7:07 pm The bulbs are called 30 trumpet top. I picked them up at the same place I got the copystand. table top studio. Here is a link to the bulbs and you can navigate to other stuff on the site.http://store.tabletopstudio-store.c...htbulbs.html As far as the lampshade its only purpose is to diffuse the light by shining the light on the side. The pic is taken thru the hole in the top. (the wire has been cut away) The camera never touches the lampshade so it will work no matter what holds the camera even your hand.
