Original Post:
I was bored last night, and decided to try my hand at some concept shots. This one was pretty close to what I had in mind. It was somewhat motivated by the government's attempt to bailout wall street.
This is also my shot for the Strobist Lighting 102: 5.2 -Double-Duty Light assignment.
That's the same 20 dollar bill shot multiple times and composed in Photoshop. It wasn't even mine, it was my son's bill. I think he has more money than I do. ;-)
Lighting Info: Canon 580 Ex II camera right on full power shot into an umbrella. 42" reflector camera left to provide some cross fill. Shot (mostly) at ISO 400, f/11, and 1/250 of a second.
This one made Explore.
