A globular springtail is ambling around on our deck. He and hundreds more like him have come out during the morning mist to graze. He glistens in the wet weather, as tiny water droplets cling to his sparkling microscopic hairs.
These creatures are not bugs, and not even insects, but part of a smaller group of 6-legged arthropods called "collembola." This particular one is about two millimeters long with beautiful purple and gold markings. Springtails have a unique characteristic of "springing" out of the way if threatened. If you didn't know better, you might think they were fleas.

Macro Mondays: Less Than an Inch
The subject is <14mm and even allowing for the negative space top & bottom the whole frame is <20mm.
Lighting by a single Magilite key-ring torch.
The earring is 3/4 of an inch long and 1/2 inch tall (without the earring bit at the top). The heartline on the bear is a traditional Southwest Indian ( i.e., Hopi, Navajo, Zuni) symbol.
Photography details: backlit the earring on a wooden table, camera on a tripod, with handheld LED lights above. Cropped the image.
Have a great week, macro colleagues!
#Macro Mondays #Less than an Inch. LEDs on a printed circuit board - Nikon D300 with 55mm micro nikkor, 2x teleconverter and 36mm extension tube.
The smallest socket (3/16") from my socket set.
I'm not sure what was causing the stripes reflected in it but it made a nice effect
HMM!
This photo is for the group Macro Monday's and this week the theme is "Less Than An Inch".
This is a tiny weed that has sprung up in our warm weather. The flower measures just under 3/16" (0.476 cm).
I know that it may not look very good or crisp to some but I'm actually surprised that it came out as clear as it did. I use a point and shoot camera and only know how to crop and adjust the light/color on my pictures. I use the software that came with my camera. For most of my macro pictures I have to practically put the camera on top of the object that I'm taking a picture of.
I was initially going to sit this week out because I thought there was no way I would be able to take a picture that was "less than an inch" and even if I could it would not be as good as the majority of the groups photo's. Then I decided that I had to at least give it a try. I guess all that you can do is do your best with what you have and have fun doing it. :)
Brot statt Kuchen. Trotzdem erwischt.

Slowly it was time for a liberation attempt for her little brother Robby – you remember the sibling couple? Wilhelmine had scouted the area around the prison and found that it could be very difficult to get directly to her brother. So why not choose a traditional, simple method first? And send Robby a baked-in tool – instead of a cake (as usual) much smarter hidden in a loaf of bread?
It makes me very sad, unfortunately it did not work. The pointy chisel was discovered by the guards in the bread. We do not know why, but it could be that the freshly baked bread just smelled too seductive and the guards wanted to try a piece. Such a bad luck ...
Ingredients: Wholegrain bread (crumbs), this lies together with a tiny nail on a muffin form made of paper. Natural light, supplemented by a spot with a flashlight. Size of the entire picture 2 cm.

Langsam wurde es mal Zeit für einen Befreiungsversuch von ihrem kleinen Bruder Robby – Ihr erinnert Euch an das Geschwisterpaar? Wilhelmine hatte die Gegend um das Gefängnis ausgekundschaftet und festgestellt, dass es sehr schwierig werden könnte, direkt zu ihrem Bruder zu gelangen. Warum also nicht als erstes eine traditionelle ganz schlichte Methode wählen? Und Robby ein eingebackenes Werkzeug zusenden – statt in einem Kuchen (wie üblich) viel schlauer, in einem Brot getarnt?
Es macht mich ganz traurig, leider hat es nicht geklappt. Der spitze Meißel wurde von dem Wachpersonal im Brot entdeckt. Wir wissen nicht warum, aber es könnte sein, dass das frisch gebackene Brot einfach zu verführerisch gerochen hat und die Wärter ein Stück probieren wollten. So ein großes Pech ...
Zutaten: Vollkornbrot (Krümel), dieses liegt zusammen mit einem winzigen Nagel auf einer Muffinform aus Papier. Natürliches Licht, ergänzt durch einen Spot mit einer Taschenlampe. Größe des gesamten Bildes 2 cm.

I wasn't going to do a Macro Monday today. I looked out the window to see this little guy. He was so colorful. The rains from last night brought him in. HMM!
I try to make it less than and inch with negative space, but, that can not show the perspective I wanted to show here. Sorry folks.
Section of the backside of a 1.25 inch diameter street reflector. Captured using 100mm macro lens + Raynox DCR250 magnifier. Longest imaged dimension approx 0.75 inch.
The regular patterning, used to reflect light, resembles Necker cubes- with an optical illusion that makes distinguishing the tops from bottoms of individual units arbitrary.
My wedding ring (version2 since I lost the original in the Aegean 2 years ago). Shot with a 36 mm extension ring and a ringlight with remote shutter. Converted from raw with UFraw in Gimp.

I carry a reminder of home with me all the time.

Less than Half an Inch to be precise! These are model railway 8 spoke wagon wheels at a scale 1:152. Representing a 3' wheel the treads are 6mm in diameter with a 0.5mm flange. The wheels are mounted on 1mm diameter axles each 12.25mm over pinpoints. www.2mm.org.uk
For this photo I acquires a reversing ring and attached it to my 50mm lens.
Or some Xindi device from Star Trek:Enterprise ???
