Stock Shot Project

The Nikon macro lenses deliver a close-up magnification ratio of 1:1.  I wanted to come even closer so you could clearly read the credit card numbers reflected in the tip of the pen.   Adding a 4+ close-up filter onto the front of the Nikon 60mm macro lens did the trick. Photographed by soft filtered window light on a Nikon D3x at f/5 gave just enough focus to keep the card numbers and pen point sharp while everything else was softly blurred.
