I lost my Light

There is no comparison between natural light and Reveal bulbs when it comes to photographing bronze. Reveal, or any other lighting for that matter, just doesn't cut it trying to get the bronze at its best. The lights tend to flatten all colors and relief of the medal. So, in a nutshell, I'm not wasting my time on more medal imaging until I have some sunshine to work with again.

    I can't believe in this day and age there are no bulbs that would duplicate natural light to the extent that you require to continue feeding us the images we have all fallen in love with. Try harder!image I'll be looking for product for you as I can.
    Edited to add: have you thought of surrounding the coin or medal with the warm glow of several coleman lanterns?image

    What a quitter Cacheman is!

    What if Goetz himself had turned to Mrs. Goetz and said (whinny voice): "Der sun es kaput! I don't feel like finishing these medals. I'm going bowling!"

    Where would the world be, Cacheman? Get back to work.
