Playing Card Close-Ups - Guess the Deck

[KPopFever605]

So, recently I pledged for a portable macro lens (to be used with smartphones) via Kickstarter. Their company is called Easy-Macro, and their lens arrived about week ago. However, it arrived cracked, so they kindly sent me another one. So, I currently I have two attachable macro lenses for my Galaxy S4.

THE POINT IS: I am now able to take incredible close-up (macro) shots of practically anything. One day, I sat down with a playing card and began to examine its intricacies. I've taken some pictures that I would like to share with you guys. If you'd like to request any particular deck, I'd be happy to.

So, can anyone guess what this deck is?

(Sorry for the apparent distortion, adequate lighting is a bit of a issue when your camera is centimeters away from the object your capturing.)

Hope you guys enjoy!

Vortex?

That's cool! I think you need to grab some Aurum decks and check out crazy line that took me forever to make.

[Lee Asher]

That's fun! I saw a Kickstarter project that gave you a way to rubberband some macro lenses to your tablet/mobile device. Are you using the same thing?

I received a bunch of lenses from http://photojojo.com/store/ as a gift and they are absolutely incredible....been having a blast shooting with the iPhone.

Ye gods, man - one could get lost in that store!  It's the Black Hole of Phone-tography!

Just for you Paul, because they are one of my favorites

[Paul Carpenter]

Sweet! Cool to see that detail.

Sweet! Cool to see that detail.

Aurum: The deck so awesome, not even it's designer knows how detailed it is.

[Sher143]

That's awesome! I just received my Aurum decks and the detailed design is amazing.  Definitely one of my top favorite decks so far.  The design on the Deco is awesome, too! If you have a deck,  it would be really nice to see the detail on those,  also.

Haha! I drew that continuous line by hand at such a large size that it still shocks me when I see it on the card, packed into that tiny space.

[Robert Adams]

Incredible!

I had no idea these existed. Just bought one, thanks for the tip KPopFever605!

More close-ups, please!

It's CONTINUOUS?

Jesus. Do you still have the original drawing? I'd love to see it.

I think it's also symmetrical but the axis of symmetry or point of reflection is not flat across the card,  but at a slight angle. Maybe it's to be expected that it's symmetrical,  but to me,  having a continuous intricately detailed line like that *and* having it symmetrical is amazing.

[Paul Carpenter]

Yes, that line detail is continuous, doesn't cross itself and is symmetrical and reflected across the center at about a 15 degree angle. Straight across would have been boring. I have the original pencil drawing (which is half the card of course, I scanned it and tweaked it heavily to get a seamless reflection). I'll have to post that up.

Here ya go Don, they may be a bit more obvious, but I just discovered the info on the 3rd one.

Am I the only one that really really enjoys the Fathom deck?

[Robert Adams]

If you have an old laser pointer or perhaps a CD/DVD player you can take the lens and make yourself a, less convenient, microscope set-up for free.

Nope, your not alone on that HandSkillz, I like the series so far, can't wait for the next release 

[Anthony]

A few more to keep you all going

I'm bowing out of this one.

You should attempt what Lee Asher did on his site - take REALLY close shots.  He went in so close, the dimples from the embossing were like divots on the green!

[HandSkillz]

Good job, I can't figure out any of those.
