Renderosity has opened a whole new world to me, its a fantastic place and have had some brilliant support from many new friends.  I retired from work very early through ill health so I took to photography from the very basics.
 Since joining I have grown in confidence with my photography and I now think because of RR that I take it a little more seriously. I started off here using a Fuji Finepix 6500fd, it took some great pictures but I'm hooked now so I have now(April 2008) bought a DSLR SAMSUNG DX10 and having fun learning the settings etc. ( these things take me a while lol)ÂÂ
I am so fortunate to be with a wonderful person in my life, Sylvia. She is not just my partner but of course she's also my best friend. Previously I have been married but seperated a few years ago and have two fantastic children. I NOW have two fantastic grandchildren !!!
My interests are photography, i have had a dabble at Acrylic painting, and I enjoy long walks out in the countryside.      I also have an interest in anything historical.  I want to have a sample of just about everything there is in photography, who knows what the future holds!
Thanks for calling by.    Alan

A little macro work makes a great backstop for a day when you either can't or don't want to go out. My first time to see this coin.

Gee I have a few of these coins in my collection. When you that much snow and not used to it everything does come to a standstill. Just have to wait it out hope you don't get to bored, you have to shovel it out of the driveway.

oh cool ! love the colour tone here !

I love the amazing clarity of this macro. I can really see them better than when I've held such in my hands. Whatever you photographed them on is perfect as well as a background.

Lovely, well the day was not a waste of time mate! Typical eh 3 inches of snow and the country comes to a grinding halt!
MrsRatbag
That's kind of what happens here too; we don't have enough plows, so a little bit of snow and no one can move...it's a bit embarrassing. Beautiful shot, these a pretty little coins!

Very nice light on this, Alan. Could be fun if everybody, in a Forum, sent in macros of old coins.

Well, I've heard of these all my life, but have never seen one before! Great shot, Alan, and we have been watching the scenes from England on our tv.
