Recently acquired off Ebay Prestine condition Micro Nikkor Ais F2.8 55mm at a cost of £79.99. D100 used in manual mode, exposure estimated aperture used F5.6/F8. Lighting overcast spitting with rain, usual English Summer weather.

Parts inventory part 1 of 2. It is interesting that the set includes the One Ring even though it is not listed in the inventory. Also, there are no extra pieces whatsoever in the set, meaning that you get the exact number of e.g. 1x1 round plate and no spare piece. I think that these sets were packaged manually.

Just got my new Nikkor 60mm MICRO lens. It's freaking awesome. Please excuse these gratuitous close ups.

Getting closer still, and changing the focal point again.

 

This little daisy is a tiny little wild daisy growing in my yard...it is 3/4" from petal tip to petal tip!

 

This is a handheld shot...enabled by better light to have a little faster shutter speed; manual mode, manual focus (as they say, autofocus ain't necessarily your friend with micro shots); a 20mm and a 36mm extension tube stacked together. Me on my creakedy old knees and elbows as a tripod.

This little wild daisy in my yard measures exactly 3/4" from tip to tip of its petals. What beauty in such a small world, eh?

 

This is a handheld shot, down on my elbows and knees, trying to hold steady. LOL

Some of these photographs appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers; they are not. All of these photos are micro (macro) photographs of the super-tiny blooms that blossom on common weeds.

 

Weed flowers...wild flowers...whichever appellation you want to bestow on them nonetheless these almost microscopic beauties are the flowers that bloom on the weeds in my yard.

 

Many people also assume that these flowers are, for example, squash or zucchini-sized flowers, or that they are flowers 1" in diameter or larger and are perhaps on stems a foot tall or so. Nothing could be further from the truth.

 

Most of these flowers when measured petal tip to petal tip at their widest diameters measure 1/4" (6mm) across…or less...the entire bloom is that small. And the average stem height is only a few inches tall, if that.

 

The smallest weed flower I've shot yet is a small ring of flowers that measured less than 1/32" (.7mm) in diameter which encircled a spire which measured about 1/64" (0.3mm) in diameter.

 

For some photos I’ve included references to common objects such as the head of a paper match, or the head of a pin, which dwarfs some of these tiny flowers! On some others I’ve listed a description of the actual size of each object in the photo.

 

So far I've made over 700 photographs of over 50 varieties of weed flowers.

 

I hope that seeing the variety, beauty, and intricate complexity of this small world astonishes and pleases you as much as it has me.

 

Thanks for looking.

Another unknown micro fly, nose to wingtip smaller than a black ant..

I used the micro setting on my camera to get this extreme close up on my guitar. I was still trying to think in terms of the rule of 3rds.

For my micro shots, I started to put more emphasis on the visual surrealism and abstraction of my shots.

In this first photograph, it may at first look like a double exposure image or one that has been created in visual editing software, but it is however the reflection of the trees in a small puddle that was formed on a blue bench at the front of the university. I really liked this shot because, as the cameras focus was on the image of the tree branches and top of the university building reflected in the puddle, the edges of the puddle and the blue paint of the bench blur together almost as if it is the surface of a watercolour painting.

The light shining through the trees projected the branches a blocky silhouettes and I feel that this helped wit the aesthetic of the photograph because the lack of detail and visual information means the person looking at it needs to take a further moment to fully see the object being presented to them as these tree branches reflected in water could, at first glance, look like other things such as veins or tree roots.

I think the vivid blue colour of the bench and the murky colour of the puddle water also help to highlight the surreal atmosphere of this photograph as it is not often that these colours are found around us, and combining this with the unusual imagery, creates a unified surreal experience throughout this whole photo.
