    << <i>Nice coins ... really neat fish image

    My lighting tends to vary from one side to three sides, to from the top, one lamp is a 60 Watt reveal bulb in a goose neck desk lamp,
    the other two are 40W hight intensity lamps (tensor small base type). Some times I use one lamp sometimes all three. I just
    keep taking shots until I get one I like. The through the glass method helps allot with copper two....

    Me set-up >>>>> image

    Those look great - I'm going to have to make one of those "through the glass" set-ups.

    The 100Kr fish is one of the few non-gold Iceland coins I'm missing for a complete type set.

    Neat pictures. I copied your home-made light-box. My new camera works great but the operator is having some problems image All my photos are coming out in the 850KB range and so now I am learning all about "cropping". My goal is to get some pictures posted as well, but all my fish are in the freezer image
