Wish they were dollars. POTD 3.23.07

Pennies are definitely household items around our place. We find them everywhere and started collecting them, putting them in Andrew's piggy bank for later use. The first photo is the "normal" color, and the second is my having some fun with a vintage action. I like how in the vintage photo, the shades of copper are not so emphasized.

These are some great shots. I'm with you, the vintage action really adds some "oldness" to the coins. Makes them look like they have really been used. TFS

Good job with the pennies. I'm not sure which one I like better.

Keep collecting those pennies. My in-laws did that for my dh. We moved this jumbo glass jar (the thing was HUGE) across the country and back again, until one of our movers broke it. UGH! We decided it was time to wrap them. I think, when it was all said and done, we had around $500.00 in pennies. SWEET!

Cool shot of the pennies. I like the richness of the copper color in the first one but that action you used on the second is pretty darn cool too. Like them both.

You are so creative. You always come up with the best ideas for your shot! I too LOVE the vintage one!

I like this- I don't know why. The color pops right out on the first, and the sheer numbers on the second. YOur creativity always inspires me...

Another thing that I've never thought of taking a photo of....PENNIES!!
I save mine in a vintage ceramic piggy bank. I love it when I find really old ones. I save the special ones and put them aside - hopefully for Grandchildren I'll have one day!!
I like the vintage look too!
