2021 284-365 Gibbous Pepper Moon
I'd been thinking about Macro Mondays theme of Sidelit for a few days, trying to work out what looks good with this type of lighting. I also wanted to get a true macro, where you see detail not usually seen with a normal glance.
The gibbous Moon is fantastic seen by sidelighting, so I realised I wanted to recreate that feeling.
A 5mm peppercorn provided the Moon, and a torch gave the Sun's light falling on one side.
A bit of work in Photoshop to remove the needle holding the "Moon" in front of a black background, and job done!
100mm macro lens with stacked extension tubes giving an extra 68mm...
