Description
When I first got my macro lens for my digital cameras I wanted to photograph some coins. One of the coins I picked was the gold Sacagawea Dollar. I photographed this coin with a Nikon D90 with a Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 Macro lens. For the set-up I mounted my camera on a copy stand. The coin was setting on a sheet of glass elevated above a black background for separation. The lighting was from a single Nikon SB-600 Speedlight mounted in a 5.5"x 8" soft box with a frosted diffuser added. The soft box was placed in back of the set-up and very low and very close to give good relief on the surface of the coin. The exposure was ISO 100 at f/16 and the shutter was synched with flash at 1/200 sec. I cropped the image to a square.
