Insomnia @Silverlocks ? Or just sleep-posting?

Something like insomnia.

Bonus pic of the camera setup.  I made a little frame from balsa wood and dowelling to mount the diffuser gel.  The dark strips are 2 and 4 stop filter material (blocks 3/4 or 15/16 of the light without affecting the colour balance).  The dark material gives the shiny device something to reflect, and makes it look less flat, which it will be prone to if you shoot with diffuse light like this.

You can see some of the 1/4 and 1/10 coins taken with a similar setup, but lighter (1 or 2 stop) filters, and I think they're not quite contrasty enough.
