Question For The Photog Experts

Goober

Using a Canon G2. Just started a couple weeks ago taking pictures of my coins. So far so good except when taking pics of my PL and DMPL Morgans. With and without direct or indirect lighting the mirrors keep reflecting the macro lens. Angles are fine but don't show the beauty of the coins. Any advice on fixing this?

Angle the camera, then angle the light, too

Will give it a try, thanks.

Do you think angling the coin would help keep the light down?

No, but it will compensate for you angling the camera

I have gotten some nice results with a little angle and a mix of direct and indirect lighting. Also can try to get the lights as high angle as you can get without getting glare that works best with my new camera.
