"If the only tool you have is a hammer, it's tempting to treat every problem as if it is a nail."
The law of the instrument, (law of the hammer, Maslow's hammer, or golden hammer) is a cognitive bias that involves an over-reliance on a familiar tool. As Abraham Maslow said in 1966, "I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail."

Macro Mondays theme: My Close
Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
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.
A ring which I found in the sand at the water's edge in Cornwall a few years ago, which explains the rather dull appearance of the stones and the scratches on the metalwork!
The wooden ruler is one from my schooldays and the divisions are millimetres.
A transparent plastic Ruler/Scale held just above the Periwinkle flower. The sunlight passing through the ruler/scale creating shadows of the centimeter markings on the petals.
This week's very technical topic prompted me to check not only the closest point, but also the maximum resolution of my photographic equipment: the choice of subject.
A small dove feather (cm 2) on a sheet of graph paper, a result that I think is excellent.I would like to know your observations and comments, thanks a greeting to all of you
The Macro Mondays theme for this week is "My Closest" ie shoot the absolute highest magnification macro available and include a visible indication of size by placing your subject on/by a ruler, grid or graph paper.
Macro Mondays: My closest
Clothing snap on transparent plastic ruler. I have only a basic macro lens, so I used that (on manual, 1:1), plus a +10 close-up filter. In the spirit of the challenge, I didn't crop anything. Frame is about 2.5 cm / 1" across.
Very small purple flower measuring 1.5cm almost exactly, it's lined up on the 2cm line to start. Focus Stacked. HMM!

This is a 5x magnification shot of a small portion of a gold, diamond, and ruby necklace I bought my wife several years ago for Christmas. None of the diamonds are in focus. The ruler lines are 1 millimeter apart. This picture was not cropped at all.
Overall lighting was incandescent-color LED room lighting. The bokeh was achieved with two tiny tabletop LED lights, one positioned from the necklace at 11 o'clock and one at 4 o'clock. When aimed indirectly at the jewelry, reflections flew all over the place, making the bokeh crazy. I had to position the two lights carefully so the bokeh didn't overtake the entire picture. I added a magenta gel in front of the light at the 11 o'clock position and a dark blue gel in front of the light at the 4 o'clock position.
Canon 6D Mark II and Canon MP-E 65mm f2.8 1x-5x macro lens set to 5x. ISO 800, f3.5 at 1 second.
For Macro Mondays challenge: get as close as you possibly can and include a visible indication of size by placing your subject on/by a ruler, grid or graph paper.

Macro Mondays theme: My Closest
One of a series posted today of an origami paper that was creased in a grid pattern so many times that the waxy coating on the surface wore all the way through. None of my cameras is particularly great and I can't see well enough to fiddle with the fine tuning. Still, if you zoom in on this you can see all the fibres inside the hole. Have a look at the other pictures to see how I came to have a paper in this state.

The Macro Mondays theme for 1/17 is “my closest” and I am determined to accomplish the task with a clip-on lens on my iPhone camera’s lens. This is the set up shot for one of the possibilities — I’ll post the actual shot ot in a minute or two.
