Kurt: I used to collect silver dollars, but sold most of them, and now only have a couple. The remaining coins in the photo are the result of travels to do my photography. I did arrange them to show off a variety of coins, and piled them deeply enough so that you can't see the background paper they were sitting upon. I'm glad I've inspired a few people to think of shooting similar items. That's what this website is all about!

Hi Steve. I really love the lighting and the depth that it adds to this shot. The various shades of metal and the shadows add an artistic interest to what could have been a simply utilitarian photo of a pile of coins.
The image is so well balanced, I have to wonder if the arrangement of coins was purely chance or the result of careful planning.
Are you a collector or are these souvenirs of world travels? The two visible Morgans really stand out.
I think you've inspired me to see what I can do with some spare change... Best wishes, Kurt

Mary Sue it was one of those days where it was rainy, but sun kept coming through the clouds at times. It also was spring breakup, and the snow was melting and sloppy, so it wasn't fun walking. I simply put the coins on a piece of paper on a table by a window and shot the photo when the sun did come through the window.

Steve, looks like you have been to a lot of cool places!
You sure got a lot of light and shadows for a rainy day. Did you use a light source?
It works, though since it adds to the texture.
