rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 3935 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 10:02 am It's all about light angles. Get the angle low enough to not cause glare. I personally recommend using a ringlight, then masking-off the areas you don't want, usually from 11-1 and 3-9. Then move the light to as low an angle as you can to still have no direct glare in the area of the coin. If you're using a camera, the light I'd recommend is: https://www.amazon.com/Bekada-Confe...p/B08GKKR9HF That light may be too big in diameter if you are using a cellphone with very short working distance, but if the WD is long enough it should work fine.

Be sure to mask-off the areas of the light as described above for best performance. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
