oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 02/10/2012 08:40 am I do not know where my head was last night...if the desired results are not achieved at the present set-up...change it. In other words...move the light away from object. I kept maneuvering the light around the lens and the coin (close range) at different angles with mediocre results. "Let's just pause, put that down. Let's just take a step back. No, I was wrong, I'm sorry, take a step forward. Now, take a step back. Step forward. Back. And then we're cha-cha-ing!"

rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4038 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 8:46 pm Better, but the lights are still at too low an angle. Can you bring them up to more vertical, closer to the lens? ...Ray Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
Lobby Pillar of the Community United States 548 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 9:42 pm Look at the amount of glare on the rim of the coin. Way too much. Indicates the lights are too much of an angle to the coin (you're coming at them too much from the side). Report this Post to the Staff
