When I first read the challenge for this week I thought "How could that work with a close-up?" I honestly have always thought this technique was due to a mistake on the photographer's part and they were too lazy to try to fix the picture. I suppose I could be justifiably called cranky for saying that but there it is. So here is my take on dutch angle macro.
Thanks to everyone for your views, faves and comments.

L'Élégante striée est un escargot très particulier, différent des escargots terrestres ordinaires par plusieurs points.
Sa coquille conique, large et solide, est facilement reconnaissable : sa surface présente une sculpture réticulée formée de spires fines et de lignes transversales donnant un aspect grillagé, notamment sur les derniers tours les plus larges. La coloration est gris-violet à jaunâtre avec des motifs variables formés de taches sombres ou de lignes discontinues en forme de spirales. Elle mesure de 13 à 16 mm de large pour 9 à 11,5 mm de haut, et comporte 4 tours et demi à 5 tours de spires fortement arrondies, enroulées à droite (sens d’enroulement de la plupart des espèces d’escargots)

"CHECKERED"
Macro Mondays " Less than 1 inch " . Actually ,this image of the ruler tool only 1mm use for Microscope, you can see it divide for 100, one small space = 0.01 mm or 10 Micron. Now I will let you know how I setup to shoot this ruler with my Nikon 7100.
First I attach the microscope eyepiece 20 X power to my Nikon D7100 with special adapter, put direct to the eyepiece hole of my Nikon microscope, and the objective len of the microscope I select the one with 4X power (There are 4 objective lens the lowest power is 4X,and 10X,60X,100X ) combine the eyepiece with objective lens I have total 80X (magnify ). The width of my Nikon sensor is 23.6 mm. The photo no crop you can see total about 1.1mm across the sensor that mean all most 21.5 X REAL MACRO 1.1
Thanks a lot to all my flickr member friends for visiting, All faves and comments are much appreciated!
Vintage 1980 Ray-Ban Sunglasses. Width 11,5 cm cropped to 7,5 cm. Horizontal flip. Sunscreen 50 SPF reflected.
The best SunSmart steps:
1 Slip on covering clothing. Choose clothing that covers as much skin as possible, for example, collared shirts with long sleeves...
2 Slop on SPF 30 (or higher) broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen...
3 Slap on a hat...
4 Seek shade...
5 Slide on some sunglasses...
Why Is Sun Protection Important?
We all need some sun exposure. When skin is exposed to the sun, our bodies make vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium for stronger, healthier bones. It only takes a little time in the sun for most people to get the vitamin D they need (and most vitamin D needs should be met with a healthy diet and/or supplements).
Too much unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause skin damage, eye damage, immune system suppression, and skin cancer. Even people in their twenties can develop skin cancer.
How Do Sunburns Happen?
The sun radiates light to the earth, and part of that light consists of invisible UV rays. When these rays reach the skin, they cause tanning, burning, and other skin damage.
UVA rays cause skin ageing and wrinkling and contribute to skin cancer, such as melanoma (the most dangerous form of skin cancer). UVA rays pass easily through the ozone layer, so they make up the majority of our sun exposure.
UVB rays are also dangerous, causing sunburns, cataracts (clouding of the eye lens), and effects on the immune system. They also contribute to skin cancer, and melanoma is thought to be associated with severe UVB sunburns before age 20.
UV rays react with a chemical called melanin that's found in skin. A sunburn develops when the amount of UV exposure is greater than what can be protected against by the skin's melanin. The risk of damage increases with the amount and intensity of exposure. A tan is itself a sign of skin damage and does not help protect the skin.

The longer I look at it the more it confuses me. What do you think, is this weird?
Today's theme for the Macro Mondays group is 'Anachronisms.....
This is something that is out of place in the modern day...
Technology has moved on but I still like the iconic design of the Blackberry phone. I was surprised how small it was by present day standards, having not seen it for donkeys years. At the time I bought it, I thought it was huge!!!!
Thanks for visiting.
HMM.
Breaking news: Under the hammer in this weeks auction... boiled sweets. Plenty of takes, the room is now a mess with sugary lumps all over the place... time to get vacuum cleaner out. Fun as always though with Macro Mondays. Scene is only about two inches across, that is a small boiled sweet and my smallest engineering hammer. For information, these were Fox's Glacier Fruits (other brands are available) and the green ones don't seem to shatter as easily as the other colours.
