As the weather was pretty awfull here in West Sussex today, I decided to see if I could find any interesting chalk streams in the woods, these don't seem to last long because of the pourus nature of the ground. These were the best I could find today, might try again tomorrow.
Comments and critiques most welcome.
As always best viewed large on black.
Little bit of randomness I built last weekend. This was the first time I actually used the Maersk blue parts from the train I bought several years ago.
Seems like the square crew section needs to be longer. If I get the motivation I might play with that.
Micro version of Ed Diment's Eisen Eagle, one of my favorites dating back to my emergence from my dark ages.
I built this for Mike Yoder's fanboy contest on CSF the night before I left for my parents' house. I didn't have time to photograph it, so I brought it along and then what do I do? Why, forget about it, of course. It may be too late to enter in the contest, but here it is.

Formation en micro-jardinage de l’Association du personnel de la FAO Sénégal à l’arrière-cour de la Représentation sous le parrainage du projet «Capitalisation de la technologie des microjardins de la Ville de Dakar». Pendant la première phase, la formatrice est revenue sur l’origine du micro-jardinage créé par le Colombien César Marulanda avant d’expliquer les compositions et le rôle du substrat utilisé, les différents types de graines, les techniques de repiquage et d’arrosage, l’utilité des éléments nutritifs comme le compost, ainsi que la protection des cultures contre maladies et parasites, avec l’utilisation de pesticides. La seconde phase a permis au personnel de passer à la pratique en semant, sur les tables de culture, plusieures espèces dont la laitue, l’aubergine, le poivron, la tomate, etc. ©FAO/Ousseynou Diop

*They may look like monsters from a horror film, but these tiny creatures
inhabit our homes, clothes and even our bodies. A new book, 'Micro
Monsters', showcases some of the planet's most horrible insects and
microscopic beasts. British author and trained zoologist, Tom Jackson, spent
three months compiling the images in the book. Scientists coated the tiny
creatures in gold, froze them in liquid nitrogen and fired a beam of
electrons at the subjects from a scanning electron microscope to reveal the
incredible detail*

*"I wanted to get together all the most gruesome and beastly pictures I
could," said 38 year-old Tom from Bristol. "This book shows children
everything that's around them at home, the garden and the playground."*

*"The pictures I'm most pleased with are the close-up portraits of insects
that show the intricate details of their eyes, mandibles and even the hairs
on their heads," said Tom*

dreams, in fact he loves it. In particular Ned likes like the nasty worms."*

*In scanning electron microscopy, a beam of electrons is fired at the
subjects. Electrons have shorter wavelengths than lights waves so smaller
objects can be captured.*

Thanks to the awesome Travis Mathieson and fellow MUGS members, I broke my LDraw cherry on the weekend at their free info seminar :D
Micro AT-AT with a nod to Rod Giles ;)
Just bought this lens today. This is one of the true macro champions of Nikon history. It works in my old Nikon cameras and also works with my digital D80. In this case everything is manual, and you even have to guess the exposure. The meter doesn't work. The Manual focus is very easy and precise and if you're in doubt you can use the AF confirmation signal inside the viewfinder of the D80.

The photographs in my set, "Weed Flower Micros," may appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers – they are not!
These are micro (macro) photos of tiny little flowers which bloom on ordinary weeds found in my lawn.
How tiny? The largest weed flower in the set is only, when measured across its widest part from petal tip to petal tip, 3/4" in diameter (19mm)!
Some of these miniscule flowers are so small that the entire blossom you are looking at is 1/4" in diameter (6mm)…or smaller! Again, that’s measuring from petal tip to petal tip across the widest part of the bloom!
The smallest part of a weed flower that I have managed to successfully shoot and achieve good detail in is a photo I made of a bud that measured LESS than 1/32" in diameter (0.7mm) across its widest part!
For size references I have included a photo of certain flowers and buds next to the head of an ordinary paper match, which dwarfs the blooms and buds.
It’s delightful to discover the beauty, complexity, and variety in something so small that it’s easily ignored, taken for granted, dismissed as a pest, or just downright difficult to see with the naked eye.
And it’s an even greater delight to realize that this incredible beauty has been growing wild in my lawn, year after year, right under my un-seeing eyes as I’ve repeatedly mown them down with my lawn mower, never realizing the unseen beauty that I was trampling under my feet.
I hope you enjoy viewing these as much as I do. I have a lot of fun making them for us to look at!

I saw this little microdot of an insect on a rose petal. I wanted to see how close I could get. Camera handheld without flash. The 2nd shot gives a little perspective just how small. Pleasanton, CA.
