Picture taking question.

RMLTM79

Is there a way to take pictures of NGC slabs without having it show my reflection? For the record, I'm using a Canon SX50HS. I have some oversized NGC slabs and I can't seem to get my reflection out of the way when shooting under a bright/natural light. Any suggestions? Thanks.

The only thing that should be lit is the coin. Any other light entering the room that is hitting you, the camera, or anything else could reflect off the slab and into the camera. Pull the shades and turn off other room lights.

use more than one light on the coin
