Russian coins (macro)

A few macros I did sitting in lockdown in spring. Money-money-money. Those are simple contemporary 10 rouble Russian coins. Of course they are not made from gold, and they are not precious (the nominal value for 1 coin now is less then 10c) ... but have a nice outlook, arent they? (I hope it is not against community rules to share this non silver/gold stuff).

Editing .raw files in PH or LR can do real magic to the image!

And this is a vintage copper jezzwa (too small to prepare coffee in it -- I own several ones, and use the biggest of them for coffee-making purposes). Ofc it cant fit all my coins, so its just one of the vessels I use. I house little 10 kopeek coins in it, and other cash like that.

This is image 'as shot', without any extra editing applied to improve the colors.

Another (wooden) box I use for coins storage. This one is decorated with smallest, light (and useless) coins of 1 kopeika value. At the time, one could obtain for this coin as much as one box of matches... but these times have passed. Nothing you can get for 1 kopeika, nothing at all. So, we used it for design purpoces... :-)

Thanks for stopping by! and next time
