[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Taken for the "Uncertainty" scavenger hunt. Weather in Norwich has been too poor to go out and take any decent pictures, so thought I'd have a play with photoshop. 1 photo of a coin on a thumb, 10 copies of the coin, some motion blur and some rotation of the layers and finally a border and here's a coin in action. Will it and heads or tails (or even on the edge)?

he he1nice shot!

excellent photoshop composition

Hi Mark,
Excellent entry for the hunt. You did a lot of PP but it paid off, and it's pretty flawless. The simple black background keeps our attention nailed to that coin.
Well done,
Jako

Pretty cool PP work, Mark! Absolutely flawless.

I had toyed with a similar idea for the scavenger hun but could not think of how to do it (I did not have a proper stobe light to give me the rapid flashes to capture a coin in flight). It had not occured to me to do it digitally. I'm glad I didn't even try, as this shot is much better than I could have hoped for.
I like the brightness of the coin against the dark backgound in particular.

This is amazing. I can see you are quite prolific in producing this coin technique. Well done.
