Don't Pay the Ferryman

[beatles2]

i have been listening to Chris de Burgh for the last week. And I thought what could I do in my back yard.

Very creative shot... Is this a layering or burst shots or were you dropping lots of coins?

That's a great effect - love the progressive blurring of the coins as they gather momentum while falling.

Thanks! I needed some spare change! A nicely photographed and well-conceived shot.

Hi Paul ... this is very effective ...but I need help here in understanding the relationship between Chris de Burgh (the Lady in Red guy?) and what you're trying to do in your backyard .. maybe I'm missing something here

Job well done.

Don't pay the ferryman, don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman, until he gets you to the other side.

The contract made, the deal done, the picture conceived, created and presented
I think we can the ferryman now
Nice job Paul

I had the camera on my tripod down and dropped the coins . I did use burst. I did it about six times to find the one shot I liked. Thank you very much.

Thank you so very much. I wanted to use a shutter speed that would not freeze the shot but have a little motion.

$6. I used some old American silver dollars for the size.

Hey Hayward, just a different song this is no love song. It was metaphor I used for the song title.. I'm a big fan of his early stuff.
