What a great set up dj. Do you only take pictures of coins or do you use it for other articles as well.

Tell me do you need a licence to drive it!

That is my old setup which was good but I have abandoned it for something that works better for me. I have switched to this

My only suggestion would be to take pictures of coins on a black porous surface (i.e., construction paper is good). You do NOT want immediate adjacent colors effecting your pics.

Since the color black is technically "absent of color", that is no light is reflected from this "color", all of the focus is on your coin...NOT the immedaite adjacent colors.

I like the GE Reveal light bulbs and the diffused lighting. I used a milk/water gallong jug to help diffuse my lighting.
