Update:

Given the popularity of this image, I've created another version you may (or may not) like better than this one.

Feel free to use either image for non-commercial purposes (e.g. on a personal blog that does NOT contain advertisements). Please contact me at steve.wampler@gmail.com if you'd like to use it for anything commercial and we'll work out a licensing fee.

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.
