Nickel

Description

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

Chris Budny level-deluxe February 24, 2014

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... #10984778
