"2p or not 2p, that is the texture"

OK, you're right. I have know idea what I am on about either...

[Sue Rose]

Great shot for texture and really like the quote too! The lighting on the coin is wonderful.

Never really looked at this coin before, it's very nice with its feathers and ribbons and crown. Brilliant shot Bulldog

[Henri Russell]

You are so clever, Bulldog. Love your quote. Cool lighting on the Two Pence.

[Maggiemae]

All those little knobs around! My mother went to the Royal Mint in 1929 on her overseas trip and what she wrote was fascinating about the making of these coins!

I used to work for a company who made slot machine tokens (coins), I spent quite a lot of time in the Birmingham Mint and your are right, it is fascinating.

Ha ha! Good capture, shiny 2p

[Nada A.]

Great textures. That's my 2p's worth.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Is a two pence also a tuppence? That song from Mary Poppins is running through my mind.

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

It is Ann, I thing it's a Cockney thing?

[Hazel A]

Lovely shiny two pence though I think it would have been enhanced it there was a little rust on it!!!!

[David Price]

Very funny. I like what you did with the lights

[Pam Knowler]

Nice textures- love the quote!

[Fanny Brogden]

[Michelle]

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Thanks everyone, in hindsight, I should have lined the ring of lights a little better?

[Joanna]

Haa! I say 2p! Great job! Did you paint with light on the brighter parts of the coin?

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Thanks Joanna, these are actual lights on the from of the camera, I did adjust the overall brightness a little, but that was it.

[Phil]

I'll get my two-penn'rth in while I can... I think it's a great shot, nice and shiny! :)

[Sue Hawkins]

LOL I really like this is that a macro ring flash?

[Mike]

A clean copper...bit contraversial...

[Darren Juden]

Nevertheless an interesting shot! Live the light set up :)

[❀ Lynn]

"With tuppence for paper and strings....you can have your own set of wings...with your feet on the ground, you're a bird in flight....with your fist holding tight, to the string of your kite"....seriously, that's what popped into my mind when I saw Two Pence! From the movie Mary Poppins!

[Karin Hirsch]

Just an amazing answer to the question 2p or not 2p.

[Bankmann]

LOL! ;-)
The camera you used is actually one of the models I considered when changing out my p&s... Nice macro, I say...

[📸 Bulldog 📷]

Its a great little camera but I am not allowed to borrow it full time.
Its the same one I use for my stop motion stuff.
