Miniature Men at the Museum for Macro Mondays

Botanic Garden Szeged

(SMC PENTAX-D FA 50mm F2.8 MACRO)

This was by far the tiniest creature I have attempted to photograph, no longer than 5mm. It appeared just as a very small black fly on the sunflower petal, but on closer inspection, all its beautiful detail has been revealed. Plant bugs are very many and varied and I haven't been able to identify or name this one. If there are any insect specialists who'd like to have a go, please feel free, I'd be delighted.

This tiny plant was growing under the steps of a staircase climbing up to the hilly Sakuragaoka park.

I love to build and create something reminding of the "real world". This is a part of my Café area from my super miniature house.

Happy LCOF!

Musée Cinéma et Miniature in the heart of Vieux Lyon (Lyon’s old town). This museum unites miniaturist and founder Dan Ohlmann’s two passions: the magic of film special effects and the art of miniatures.

Les miniatures de Dan Ohlmann

Toutes les scènes hyperréalistes de Dan Ohlmann sont réunies dans son musée à Lyon, fruit de 20 années de passion créatrice.

Cet ancien ébéniste et architecte d’intérieur réalise ses miniatures animé d’une seule envie : inviter le spectateur à découvrir ou retrouver différentes ambiances et atmosphères de la vie quotidienne. Dan Ohlmann révèle la poésie qui s’empare de tout lieu lorsqu’il est fortement chargé d’histoire et de vécu.

Dan, the Lilliputian strong man has been tricked by his friends, he happily volunteered to restock the bar with soft drinks but little did he know that the cans belonged to Lemuel Gulliver! He stands at one and a quarter inches and the cans are nearly half his height.

Went with a fantasy theme. Fun with the grands.

Found this tiny wild flower in the garden. So tiny that's it was almost invisible despite the vibrant colours - only noticed it as I was lying on the ground looking at other flowers with a lens and extension tube setup. This whole flower, not quite fully open, is no more than 4-5mm across.

I really prefer shooting subjects in their natural environment in ambient light but it was too breezy to get a decent shot so I bought one inside and used a flash...

After some research it seems this is called Common Storksbill, a type of wild dwarf geranium.
