Is It Good Pics With Sky Light Only?

Justwalking could you show a image of this setup. very well done excellent photos. I find this very interesting. that you can stack a pair of objectives. very well done

wow Justwalking I like how you think. I to like to build stuff. I have a little project on the go as well. if it works like I think it will. I will share here with you. great way to do that Justwalking excellent

Great photos

Justwalking totally excellent photo. very well done. you do great work with these cameras. Heres one taken with a Sony A7R mark II plus a 100 mm macros lens. if you look closely at the image. I took it shows me that the camera lens is not perfectly parallel to the coin. all I have to do is use a trick ray told me to try. place a mirror where the coin lays. that will show me what I have to adjust. here is the image as you can see. I want to show exactly what my coin looks like in hand. the only editing just resizing.

Same lights, just different angel, no more color editing.
Don't know which one is correct to show the coin.





As for me the fist one is more natural.

Good idea, I did it. Unfortunatelly plain white background on photo correspond to lights temperature and luminosity, so I did not achieve plain white on my monitor. But coins are close to their original colors om my monitor as it seems to me. Btw I see that shadow colors are slightly different on the paper. It tells than
LED's temperature are differrent also. Both identical lights was bought from one seller at same time.

SSuperDdave, I'm so sorry for my misunderstanding.
I did not any postprocessing on photo, just resized and pack to .jpeg
Let's say previous two pics with one penny and different lighting have white paper background instead pink and what I need to do to ask someone which one is better?

The gist of my message - and it's likely my own fault for not explaining myself more clearly - is that color will always be a problem in the absence of universal monitor color standards. And, it's also a personal problem for those of us who shoot coins because we don't always look at coins in-hand under the same lighting we image them with.

So, it's always my policy to adjust color - be it in-camera via White Balance adjustment or in postprocessing - to a place where a known color quantity (most easily white) looks correct on my monitor. If the camera's getting that right, by definition it's also getting the coin colors right, and that negates what might be my conflicting experience looking visually at coins under differing light color temperature.

Most of what I shoot for public consumption is on a black background, because, well, I like a black background. But I've used this specific equipment set so much, and control to identical circumstances each time, (I don't even shoot during daylight) that I know the color corrections necessary.
