Nickel


 
BetterPhoto.com All Time Best Photo Contest Editor's Pick BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest SECOND PLACE Winner   Nickel
Nickel
Too cold and icy outside, so I started looking for photo subjects inside this morning...
I also dug out my light-tent lights and started playing around with them; I ended up shooting
a banged-up nickel with my macro lens; it is impressive, the tiny details that go into the coins!
Unfortunately, Jefferson kind of looks like he ran through a thorny thicket, face-first!
12/13 2nd Place - D&M

Your photo is also impressive, in black and white, with the silver reflection. Very cool.

  Thanks, Kevin! Always good to have a few "fallback" options to shoot at home, when bored or it is too cold to go outside ;) I love "getting back into" macro mode that way; winters have become a macro season for me, in recent years...
