    thanks for looking at all these threads sorry I am too cheap to get a scanner.. I hope it doesn't take away from the notes themselves.

    you know ... if you practice taking photos with the camera ... if you can get that down where the pictures are crisp and clean ... well, i dont know any better way to show a note. Cameras pick up the more natural colors, and IMHO just plain look a ton better.

    Now, i cant take photos of coins or currency, so i can offer no advice. .. but in the absence of a scanner ... you have the perfect opurtunity to learn :)

    Could you try to take a pic of the 20 again against a black or white background? I realy would like to see the detail on the front of that note :D

    alot of it has to do with my camera. the zoom on it is digital not optical so it is hard to get closeups of things. here is two more with black background

    Kneil, Try two things. Get an inexpensive tripod. This will help reduce camera shake which make for sharper images.
    Also, place the camera a bit further away from the notes. The focus is a bit off because you are closer than the lens can handle. You won't have to move the camera very much. If you notice, the carpet is almost in sharp focus, which means maybe 6 inches further away may do the trick.
    Also, the digital zoom won't be as bad if the auto focus can actually focus on something. ;)
