The Penny Dropped

Or rather... the pennies dropped.

Returned to counting and bagging up all my 1p and 2p coins this afternoon, not before taking a pic or two of coins falling from my hand.

I did have a clearer shot but that just had one coin in and I really wanted to have a few more in the shot.

I only took about 10 shots but this is easily one of those set ups where I could have spent ages taking snaps and probably end up with well over a hundred shots..

Great action shot Andy!

[Salma Tantawi]

Great shot! It's strange how a moment ago I was holding a large sum of coins and I thought they'd make a good picture! :D

[Brooke Moloney]

very cool, the black background is perfect to highlight the copper of the pennies.

[Kimberly Mitchell]

Thought they were bubbles from the thumbnail. I like it.

[Denise]

i remember you did this wit some sand last year. I tried coins but failed epically and ended up taking a still macro shot of them. Need to cut ur nails too ;) ha!

As Benjamin Franklin Quoted "A penny saved is a penny earned." Creative shot.

Hey Any, I took this earlier in my project - http://365project.org/lintbrush/365/2010-07-29. I ended up taking several frames and merging them together. After suffering thru this, I found a tutorial online about using stroboscopic flash whereby your flash unit strobes several times quickly in succession during a single shutter frame. Haven't tried it yet, but thought I'd share.

I'd say you did a brilliant job as I would have surely squeezed of well over 10 shots to get this shot.

Thanks Matt.. Unfortunately, I have none of that fancy equipment - and only freebie processing downloads to play with - so I'm a long way off being able to put together a shot like yours - which is great btw..

Great shot
