Wishing Well #13063

The Story

Pennies on a water background with the word LUCKY stamped into all of them makes for my version of a wishing well in surreal form. Shot in the studio straight down under continuous lighting, it’s just an old but cool photography trick using water droplets on a pane of glass. I really enjoy the vivid blue with the saturated copper color of new pennies, as well as the randomness of it all. Taken altogether, it makes a wonderful visual splash. I’ve even tried the same kind of shot using clear Karo syrup instead of water. Once.
