kamorka Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 9:55 pm Guys, I was playing with new lighting setup (diffusing Jansjo with a ceiling foil) and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on my results. Which one do you like better (if any at all...)

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 11:26 pm Super nice pics! I prefer the top one, looks sharper to me. Which one gives the correct color? The top two look a bit blue, while the bottome looks a bit red, but I don't know what the coin really looks like...Ray Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
kamorka Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 03/13/2012 09:24 am Ray, I think the top one is a bit closer to the real coin color. The coin is very bright, near GEM BU condition. I don't know where the blue haze is coming from, could it be a reflection from the foil? I had calibrated my set up with white paper, but can not get a true white color - only a light version of grey - to display in live view or on a still picture. Will try to calibrate with grey paper. These pictures were taken with Vivitar Flat Field Macro lens and D5000 mounted on bellows. pavel Report this Post to the Staff
