8 mm bead on a ruler

Taken macro 1:1 for the group #MacroMondays theme: #MyClosest

 

This is as close as I can get to an 8 mm glass bead on a metal ruler (ruler is in mm's). My camera is a compact zoom with built-in lens so requires accessories to get this close when using 1:1 macro. I used Hoya Close-Up II 52 mm filter lenses +1, +2 & +4 combined & fitted to my Canon PowerShot 42 mm lens via a 42-52 mm adapter ring. Photographed outside in bright, natural daylight. The metal ruler has a brushed stainless steel surface and is 20 mm wide. When taking the shot I tried to exclude as much of the ruler as possible leaving just enough to show measurement of bead with a couple of spare mm's here and there.
