One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "My Closest"
This is a tiny part of a leaf! You can see the mm scale in the background! The whole image shows a part of 2 mm, so it should be around 18:1 magnification… and as expected - it shows! The drop in image quality is significant, but I think it‘s not too bad to show… at least I hope so!
Shot with a Carl Zeiss "Luminar 16 mm F 2.5" lens on a Canon EOS R5.

all visitors and friends of my photostream, a heartfelt thank you for your comments and reviews, invitations and favorites
Prepared for MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "My Closest".
Shoot with EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM + 36 mm Kenko extension tube.
The extension tubes have no optics. By extending the lens farther away from the sensor in the camera, the lens is forced to focus much closer than normal. The greater the length of the extension tube, the closer the lens can focus.
HMM!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
2k Tempco resistor, scale in mm. I use these tiny resistors to build temperature stable exponential converters for oscillators in modular synthesizers.
Lens: Yashica ML 28/2.8 (reversed) @ f/11 + 12mm extension tube + adapter. I initially went in closer with a full 60mm of extension tubes and a 2x teleconverter but then I was so far in that it was impossible to get anything intelligible.
My Closest. Funny things is this little black cat is a mini tape measure, you can just see the tab end at the feet. Happy Monday. HMM
I really don't know what I'm doing, but I so wanted to try. Got my older Nikon with the macro lens out after a long time being too sick to use everything.
So here goes, just the corner of a battery box right next to a plain wood ruler. If I didn't do it right, please forgive me, I tried and tried and tried and tried.
Macro Monday's and the theme of "My Closest".
With the aim this week of getting as close as we possibly can to a subject and showing either a ruler or graph paper in the shot I first located a small ruler and then I decided to use some Chia seeds bought from a local store and I poured a small amount onto a white plate.
Next I placed the ruler onto the plate and then poured more seeds onto the ruler.
After setting up my camera and focussing the Tamron 90mm ti it's closest focus I found a close-up filter and tried attaching it to the lens. It was just too small but I managed to keep it in place using Sellotape.
Then I spent a while trying to find a composition and in the end I settled on what you see here. This shows the 8cm marker on the ruler. The close-up filter has the effect of having to place the lens so much closer to the subject than usual and depth of field is very small, so much so that hardly anywhere is in sharp focus.even though I set the aperture much smaller than I normally would. The smaller aperture has even created some chromatic aberration around some of the seeds.
The use of the close-up filter got me in close enough so that the entire frame from top left to bottom right is about 2cm long.
With thanks to Macro Mondays for letting me finally find a use for the ruler thingamajig on my phone.

This is my tiniest snail, barely big enough to be able to pick up very gently between two fingers, so handling was kept to a minimum and the photoshoot was as quick as possible. My tape measure is double sided, inches on one side and centimetres on the other.
No snails or tape measures were harmed in the making of this photograph.
My friend lent me her new Canon RF 100mm macro for this "Closest" challenge. This photo is taken with that lens. Others in my photostream are taken with my "old" Canon EF 100 macro - either alone or with added Raynox lenses. Canon RF 100mm L lens - 8cm working distance.
Macro Monday - My Closest
Don't know which I will post yet. We were instructed to include a ruler with the subject of our choice. I used a ruler called a scale that my husband used for his work. The bigger heart measures 1.25 inches wide and 1.5 inches long.
Happy Macro Monday!
Seeing how close I can get to my subject, I've placed a single pink Tic Tac on a measuring board where each square measures 1cm, which, as you can see, is the size of the candy sweet itself.

Macro Mondays
My Closest
Any subject but as close as possible and with the measuring ruler (in cm) visible in the image.
Photo prise au plus près !
Vicino, vicino !

It shows the letter F - which is part of the word 'Freiheit' (freedom) engraved on the side of a 2 Euro coin! The coin is 2.2 mm in height. You can see a mm scale on the bottom as well!
So this is around 11:1 and pretty much marks the limit of what I‘m able to do while keeping image quality at a somewhat acceptable level… at least when moving the setup manually on my small Novoflex focusing-rack and a standard tripod, while holding my breath during each shot in order to not cause any shaking...

In today “Blue Monday”, while nature is still in the grip of winter ice, I dream of Spring, fresh flowers and graceful butterflies...
Not so close? I was afraid my butterfly'd fly away!
Square = 5 mm
Happy Monday HMM
The Macro Monday theme this week was to produce an image at the highest possible magnification with the equipment at your disposal and to show the scale of the image by placing it on or beside a ruler or grid. So here is my tiny petal, plucked from the bottom of a flower in a bouquet that my wife brought home the other day and placed on an aluminium ruler. The marks on the ruler are 1 millimetre markings and as there are 12 of them on display it means that edge-to-edge this is 1.2 cm or just under a half an inch.

This is a tiny part of a leaf! You can see the mm scale in the background! The whole image shows a part of 2.5 mm, so it should be around 15:1 magnification…
Peter Whitfield inspired me to look for a couple of additional - perhaps slightly more interesting - leaves in the (somewhat barren) winter environment outside! So this is one of them!

... a very strange feeling, as this week's challenge is asking me to do what I do every week ... show what I have shot against a size guide! I've got an album of over 300 shots ... and I've put one, as usual, in the first comment field!
When the debate was first raised (some years ago) I liked the idea of using an old credit card as my guide. It is 3" x2" in size ... and has worked really well to keep my focused on the 3" rule for MM. It is such a good idea to define what we mean by 'macro' and the 3" rule (if followed) is an excellent one! Yes, I have seen an entire banana offered and accepted as 'macro' in another group. And it makes me groan when something like that happens! So well done MM admins for doing this topic .... 😊

Macro Mondays. My Closest
A small woman's pin I wear on sweaters and jackets.
The ruler is showing millimeters.
A macro view of a dowel screw from a pair of eye glasses sitting atop a metal ruler, taken for the Macro Mondays group theme, "My Closest." The screw measures 5mm in length.
The hardest part of this shoot was getting that tiny screw to stay put on the ruler where I wanted it (I won't get into the time I dropped it on my carpet floor and the adventure that ensued trying to find it!).
Strobist/technical info:
The scene was illuminated by two LEDs and two Nikon SB900 speedlights. The two SB900s were placed at 9- and 3-o'clock, one-foot above and three-feet away from the screw. They were fired in Manual mode @ 1⁄16 power through Neewer 24" x 24" soft boxes. A white Led light panel was placed at 12-o'clock and the blue LED of a Coast TX10 Quad Color flashlight was placed overhead (for the blue highlights and background). Both were exposed for 1/10 s.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus X flash triggers.
Lens: Vega 11U 50mm f2.8 attached to a bellows extended 123mm.
