It was a cloudy and windy morning in the Midwest US, and I did not feel like doing any long overdue indoor chores until I burned at least a few pixels. So, I set an old textbook on a windowsill and tossed a handful of change on it from a little box where old coins are collected as they're found.
Pocket Change
The oldest coin is a 1909 penny. The book, The College Reader, was published in 1936. It was submitted as a complimentary copy to my uncle, who was professor of English at Iowa State at the time.
Lens is Canon 90mm TS-E in portrait mode, tilted so the plane of focus followed the surface of the book, and two frames from shifting sideways were combined in Photoshop.
The result is probably not worth the effort, but it was certainly comfortable to work on a subject indoors for a change.
