coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/08/2021 11:10 am Looks like you are using a multi light led light system. Note how the light floods the coin. With a single light source, then you can see the light and shadows. With the multi light system, all the flat areas (MD) will create glare. Your setup could be fixed for a small amount. Use a small single book light system with something to diffuse the light source. The camera/scope is fine. Just a little bit of tweaking to improve your images: Lighting, ramp, diffuser, setups for full images or single images. http://goccf.com/t/395179#3382485 Some suggestions on how to improve your images. When experimenting with taking images. When you see one image better than another, figure out then what made the differences/ruined the images. Then keep the good, and don't repeat the bad steps. But take the time to figure it out. Your progress will improve quicker. (I guess I'm a why person, and like to try to be consistent) Edited by coop 12/08/2021 11:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
