coin balance

[eggy900]

This is one i took whilst playing around with my cam's macro mode, see if you can guess how it's done

 

[walter23]

taped up with toothpicks?

 

[Gandalf]

Leaning against a piece of glass?

 

[PreludeX]

good lookin shot, did you use crazy glue to hold them up and keep them in place like that?

 

[ZacKrohn]

thats cool...they look like they are leaning up agaisnt a piece of glass or a mirror...the far left on the bottom row is on a different level then the others

 

[luckydog]

I say it's all smoke and mirrors. There's not really any coins in the shot at all is there

 

[AIRIC]

I would say two seperate images. One with the coins laying down. However I have a certain doubt about that as the shadow looks pretty good.

I think the answer is quite clear...

Youre a witch!

 

[eggy900]

all wrong, keep guessing

 

[photobug]

The coins are on a glass tabletop & the pic is rotated.

Neat shot BTW!

 

[JonMikal]

no more guessing...spill it!

 

[eggy900]

no, no and no, i'm suprised that no one got it, it's quite simple, a magnet is placed under a piece of paper and then the coins are placed on tiop so that they balance on each other.

 

[photobug]

Ah, well, no chance anybody on the left side of the Atlantic would get that- as far as I know none of our coins are magnetic!

Still a great shot.

 

[eggy900]

tis true ad a very good point. only our new 1ps and 2ps are magnetic since they started putting nickel into them, copper isn't magnetic

 

[Canon Fan]

Heh, magnet huh? Well I never would have thought of that since all of our "cheap-ass" money here is not magnetic (to my knoweledge)

A really cool shot none the less. I might have to dig up some of my vintage coins and give this a try sometime :thumbsup:
