As soon as i posted this picture on my facebook page and website, some people asked me how i captured this difficult shot. First of all, it is not difficult shot, secondly, it is not what it seems. Though it looks like coins are falling from above, but infect they are only jumping continuously on vibrating surface of woofer speaker. I just placed white paper and coins on my speakers just above woofer cone, played deep bass track, in this case U2's "with or without you"

Technical Details:
Used Canon EOS-7D, AI Servo focus fixed to central part.
100mm f2.8 macro lens
Off camera 580ex2 fired from left with Lumiquest softbox
Shutter was around 1/200 and aperture f/8
