This is an attempt to show different lighting effects for coins. I think you'll agree there's some striking differences. But which one do you like best? I think I'm leaning towards #2 myself.
Ring flash only
Ring flash set to 1/16 and slave flash low and to the right
Ring flash set to 1/16 and slave flashes low left and right
Onboard TTL flash
Onboard + slave to the right
I don't like the last two as the lighting is far too harsh. Perhaps using a diffuser would help.
