An old Mercury Dime I recently found inspired me to do a little macro photography one uneventful day during winter break.

The first image is lit using a bare flash fired very close to the subject. The other images were lit using two small flashlights and some small DIY light modifiers, including a translucent 35mm film canister acting as a micro cylindrical softbox. The background used for the first two images is a roll of cobolt-blue painter's tape, a piece of black cotton cloth was used the the latter two. All images shot hand-held. Post-processing done through Adobe Lightroom, with (smart) sharpening aplied through Adobe Photoshop CS2.

~1:1 - 1.5:1 macro ratios.
