Saint George

My entry in the macro money challenge
Its part of a 1951 George the VI Festival of Britain one crown coin.

[Hazel]

Nice one! (I somehow can't bring myself to photograph money!!!)

[Babs]

Fabulous macro. The detail is excellent. @quietpurplehaze You should try printing it Hazel, it makes a hell of a mess in the bathroom when you put the notes up to dry. ha ha.

[Sheralee S]

That's a pretty fancy coin, nicely photographed Peter.

[Ron]

Now that's a macro shot! Really makes you appreciate the work that goes into the die. Coin artists are underappreciated.

[Peter]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks Hazel I also tried it with notes:)

[Peter]

@onewing Thank you Babs, I took shots of the hologram on a £20 and £10 note strangely this produced a solarize effect with a halo and looked rubbish:)

[Peter]

@bella_ss Thank you Sheralee,This was a special coin minted to commemorating the Festival of Britain in1951 and has given to my wife when she was born and has sat in a box ever since:)

@stray_shooter Thank you Ron for your comments, its interesting to see their work close up and amazing to see their attention to detail capture through a macro lens:)
