What happens when you shoot something that is really really small?

Pollen grains from Spider Lily

Crushed himalayan rock salt

Tiny crystals in an agate geode

Got stuck to lens?

Nice shots... trying out some macro as well recently. Not quite got the hang yet.

just wondering, is #3 CuSO4 crystal ?

3 should be quartz. I lit an artificially dyed (hence the blue) agate geode from the underside. Actual size of the whole "cave" (of which a small portion was shot) is roughly that of an average person's thumbnail.

amazing, what lens did you use!?

Kirika · 14th December 2008

Olympus Zuiko (the old OM) 20mm f2. Used extension tubes to work with the pollen grains in pic 1.

shot with film? i like the colours, very pastel-ly. soothing.

Actually, they were shot with the Olympus E510, set on "natural" color setting. iso 100. I guess the colors could also be a product of the lens, which is the old manual stuff.
