Testing my new setup!

**Scott99** · 08-26-2013

I'm going to use this thread to show my trials and errors using a setup I just purchased from Ray!

Full coin shot is pretty nice I think. I may need to diffuse the lamps a little more to get rid of those small hot-spots. Will have to play with it a little more.

Will need to work on the close-ups next which will be tomorrow or sometime this week when I have some free time.

Did a pretty good job eliminating glare right out of the gate. Right on.

Looks great to me Matt. Did you end up stacking images for focus, or is that a single?

Thanks! This was stacked but it really wasn't necessary in my opinion. A single image was overall pretty clear but I was just testing out both the setup and photoshop (since I've never used photoshop before)

Here's an image I just went in and took without focus stacking.

This one is focus stacked.

Nice. I'm honestly thinking about ditching the AmScope and purchasing one of Ray's setups.

Once I get working on the close-ups, I am going to compare this to shooting through the scope.

So far on full coin shots, this setup is the winner. Close ups are the most important to me though so hopefully it will go in the favor of this setup as well.
