Today I explored a bit more with my super macro lens. This is the American flag on the $20 bill, 3mm in size. I got this money over a year ago when I traveled to the Middle East. It is still in my wallet, along with some Euros and Swiss Francs that I've collected. I don't know why I keep this cash on me instead of safely at home.

The lens has a very shallow depth of field and a fixed focal point about 1cm away from the glass. This makes it very hard to take photos of insects or anything else that moves. Also, a lot of external light is needed as the flash is too strong at this distance.

The entire album.
