US currency ain't the prettiest, but can be fun close up.

Thanks for looking!

Wow! This is really a close up shot? This is really incredible with that amount of detail.

Fun to think about what it took to make the original printing plate for that image.

Thanks Jim! 100mm Tokina lens and a backlit crisp dollar bill.

Fun to think about what it took to make the original printing plate for that image.

I bet those are practically works of art on their own, right?

Thanks Leslie! I dig how you can see some of the red and blue security fibers that they include in the bills.

Hey Jeff, back in my pixel peeping days I used to do this for micro adjust. I must have a thousand of the, Photoshop used to give a warning about currency so you could not make counterfeit. This is nice and sharp. Never thought of doing it for art, learn something new here every day.

Ben,

Now that you mention MA I think this would be an EXCELLENT application - with all the detailed lines you could probably get REALLY dialed in. I don't use AF all too often, so it's not an issue I run to all too frequently.

I know that warning that you talk of - kinda bizarre how it can detect the currency, right??

I just love the detail that currency usually has - to my mind it's a natural fit for some macro work and backlighting REALLY brings out the intricacies.
