It is not easy to place 8 sprinkles (nonpareils, hundreds-and-thousands) one-by-one on the edge of a ruler. Nevertheless, I persisted.

For Macro Mondays "my closest". Uncropped frame, APS-C sensor, Sigma 105mm macro lens. Handheld and some unfortunate compromising on settings because (TL/DR) I was in a hurry.

For Macro Mondays "My Closest" Theme. This is 50 layers stacked by Zerene Stacker. The very fine lines in front of the flower are 1/100th of an inch apart. The same square was featured in last week's challenge.

HMM!

Ball point pen at approx 5x macro. Steel rule showing 5.5mm frame width.

This is as close as I can get with my iPhone (for the camera of which I have a lot of respect and gratitude). The tiny vase is a very lovely and much-treasured present from a friend.

"Rosy Hips"

I'm so full of pips I'll flip,

don't take me to the tip,

or throw I on the skip,

I'm such a handsome hip,

birdies love my rosy hips,

it's "Mmm" ... lick their lips.

Original poetry

I know birds don't

really have lips! 😁

Just it rhymes better 😂

Galway rose hips, I collected these nice red rose hips from my garden, I have a lovely big climbing galway rose tree covered in red seed pods, these add colour to my garden although it's wintertime.

My galway rose tree is a splendid plant flowering at least twice a year with multitudes of beautiful long lasting pink flowers that have a floral fragrance that is glorious.

Bees and butterflies and other insects love these also.

Sea salt and peppercorns with "inch ruler" showing 1/100 and 1/10 divisions

I created this tiny abstract sculpture out of FIMO or modeling clay which you bake in an oven. It had a loop at the back which you could attach to a chain and wear as a necklace. It's placed against a ruler as part of a MACRO MONDAY challenge where you are required to indicate the scale of an object.

Also, called an apothecium, for sexual reproduction of the fungus that provides structure to the lichen, an Usnea, probably U. quasirigida. From piece knocked out of alder in the Anacortes Community Forest. We've had some really windy weather.

Smallest division on ruler is 1/16th inch.

For Macro Mondays 17-Jan-2022 'My closest' theme.

I used all three extension tubes with my 100mm lens, hoping to get as close as I possibly could.

Happy Macro Monday everyone, with hugs from NZ.

A pair of blue topaz earrings. I bought these from a street fair around 6 years ago, and I guess wore them quite often, since recently the silver wire on one of them broke. I re-wired it, rather inexpertly; for this shot, I hid my work in the background, out of focus. :) The side of the ruler that is in focus is in centimetres.

HMM everyone!

Macro Mondays Theme: My Closest

I was looking for something small to photograph this week and found this tiny Oncidium that had fell from the plant. Even thought it died I find that it is still beautiful.

Here is my entry of Macro Mondays - My Closest theme. HMM for Everybody!!

This is the ball of a ballpoint pen, with the reflection of my back window in it. The total size of the image subject is 1mm by 1mm.

I found this "ultra-macro" difficult for two reasons, technical (getting everything set up so that vibrations don't make everything blurry) and composition (how do you set up your subject when you cannot see it?). Once I realised that I could capture the reflected image in a ballpoint, that was straightforward, with a chocolate wrapper in the background for contrasting colour.

Taken with a Meopta 10x phase contrast microscope lens and 10x eyepiece on the Kopil Bellowsmat at full stretch, with some extension tubes for good measure. I did try a 20x lens, but vibration made set up too difficult.

Camera set up shown here.

Quite a lot of PP, because this is a focus merge of 18 shots, taken at approximately 20 micron depth intervals (total depth of field is therefore about 0.35mm). I have then cropped square, adjusted the blackpoint and saturation before rotating the image to get the reflection the "right way up".

Macro Mondays - Theme: My Closest

1 green Sequin placed on technical paper measuring 1 x 1 mm squares

The sequin's total measure abt. 6,2 mm

A sequin (/ˈsiːkwɪn/) is a small, disk-shaped, shiny bead.

Sequins are also referred to as paillettes, spangles, or diamanté (also spelled diamante). Although the words sequins, paillettes, lentejuelas, and spangles can be used interchangeably, diamanté (literally "set with diamonds") is both an adjective and a plural-only noun, which specifically refers to diamond-shaped sequins and can also be used to mean "artificial diamonds", which serve the same purpose as sequins.

In costuming, sequins have a center hole, while spangles have the hole located at the top. Paillettes are typically very large and flat. Sequins may be stitched flat to the fabric, so they do not move, and are less likely to fall off; or they may be stitched at only one point, so they dangle and move easily, catching more light. Some sequins are made with multiple facets, to increase their reflective ability.

A Macro Mondays submission on "My closest", i.e. the biggest magnification I can achieve. This is a tiny crab spider, which I persuaded to climb over a ruler, with millimetre marks. Taken with a Canon M50, Tamron zoom lens at 300mm with a Raynox DCR250 macro adaptor.

I present to you - the tiniest seed beads I could find (size 15), threaded onto the thinnest needle I could find, scored into the tiniest reel of fine stainless steel 32-gauge wire, set upon the millimetre edge of a stainless steel draughtsman's ruler.

Tiny is as Macro does - millimetre by millimetre.
