Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 01/30/2014 9:45 pm Thanks for the comments.. here's a couple more pic's I'm playing with my camera and some of coops lighting tricks but I can see it will take a lot of practice. No tripod either Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 03:25 am I don't use a tripod. I hold the camera when I take images. The reason you are getting light at the top and dark at the bottom is that the angle of the coin needs a little adjusting. If you are using a ramp, then place a coin under the back of the ramp to raise if a bit more. I use A half dollar or a quarter at times to get the light evenly across the coin.
