Old coins I have saved for some reason, and later on they have turned out as a useful prop: www.ipernity.com/tag/serola/keyword/1271607

The origami frog I have made out of a 10 FIM money note, back in 1990s, when Finland still had it's own currency (Finnish Markka): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_markka

Tech details
Camera: OLYMPUS Tough TG-810, which actually has a pretty good "super macro" mode. We have had this camera for years, and I had totally forgotten about it. While browsing my own old photographs, I wondered with what I had taken one pretty nice close-up shot.
Focal Length: 6.6 mm (35 mm equivalent: 37.0 mm)
Exposure: 1/30 sec.
Aperture: f/4.7, which gives better depth of field than f/2.0 on my Sony Xperia.
ISO: 200
Editing: PicMonkey

Making of
Kitchen photography
Lighting arranged with LED daylight lamp and smaller LED camping light. The coins were put on strainer to get the coins rise behind the origami frog.

And unfortunately the frog has four legs instead of three. But it was not facing towards the main door =)

That is inspired by Xata. I saw her adding a picture like that, and it indeed makes the whole presentation much more interesting, and also helps on sharing ideas.

The idea can be very simple and useful, like using books for getting the subject on right level and place on the scene: www.ipernity.com/doc/xata/46183576/in/group/2286036

Thank you, Xata. Sorry for belated answer. No, the frog is very easygoing...
