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.
SEDUM PALMERI
Fiorisce in marzo il Sedum palmeri, una graziosa succulenta (appartenente alla famiglia delle Crassulacee) che non ha bisogno di nulla, tanto che ci si può dimenticare perfino di annaffiarla e sicuramente si avrà lo stesso una ricca fioritura.
Arbusto perenne dai fusti lignificati lunghi fino a 40 cm, ben ramificati, ornati all’apice da rosette di foglie piccole, verde glauco, spatolate e appiattite, che si arrossano ai bordi con il freddo. In febbraio-aprile i rami emettono corti steli apicali che portano infiorescenze a cima di fiori stellati color giallo intenso, durevoli.

SEDUM PALMERI
Sedum palmeri blooms in March, a pretty succulent (belonging to the Crassulaceae family) that needs nothing, so much so that you can even forget to water it and surely you will have a rich flowering anyway.
Perennial shrub with lignified stems up to 40 cm long, well branched, adorned at the apex by rosettes of small, glaucous green, spatulate and flattened leaves, which turn red at the edges with the cold. In February-April the branches emit short apical stems that carry inflorescences at the top of stellar, intense yellow flowers, lasting.

This is a feather from a Gentoo Penguin when it was molting.
I found this feather at a penguin colony on the Falkland Islands.
The width of the feather is very narrow, only 5 - 6 mm or about 1/4".
This is a sewing needle. It's less than 1mm wide. It fits between the 1mm black marks on the measuring tape in the background.
I've used my D750 with a 105mm macro lens with 1.4 converter and 3 extension tubes (8mm, 14mm and 27.5mm). I did try and use my Z6 but it through a complete hissey fit and errored.
Focusing was difficult as it was all manual and the camera was not in anyway steady, even on a tripod.
It was taken in natural light. It has been cropped to 16x9 but otherwise is straight out of the camera.
Shot for Macro Mondays, theme "My Closest".
This is a so-called "Springstaartje" (Collembola), a very small organism found in tremendous amounts in every garden, especially under rotting leaves. It was shot on a ruler. It is about 2 mm small.
It is a focus stack of around 680 shots, stacked with Helicon Focus
Image made in response to Macro Mondays' January 17 theme, "Closer."
Tiny figurine, shot with a Laowa CF 65mm f/2.8 CA Dreamer with a magnification ratio of 2:1 (twice life-size). As an experiment, I added two extension rings, a 10 and a 16mm. Black lines in background are a U.S. ruler and represent 1/16th of an inch.

Crimping beads and cable thimble from my wife's jewelry making supplies sitting on a stainless steel ruler with millimetre markings. The tubes at the end of the thimble are about 1 mm in diameter.
Fujifilm X-A1 with Minolta MC Rokkor-QF Macro 50mm f/3.5 at f/8 mounted in reversed orientation on a Minolta Autobellows III at full extension (165 mm) giving a magnification of about 3.5:1. The width of the image at the focal plane is just under 7 mm.
Lit with a Nikon SB-26 at 1/2 power at camera left (8 o'clock, 29cm away) and a Braun Hobby 17BC at camera right (4 o'clock, 40 cm away).
Focus stack of 10 images using ImageJ2 software (StackReg and Extended Depth of Field plugins). Images used in focus stacking were otherwise straight out of the camera.
This week MacroMondays' theme is #MyClosest, and apparently 5 centimeters is as close as my point-and-shoot camera can go.
The left eye of Saint Paisius of Hilendar on a Bulgarian Bulgarian 2 leva banknote. Worth about £0.64 (the whole note, not just the eye).
Olympus 60mm macro lens at 1:1 plus 26mm extension tubes and a Raynox DCR250 closeup lens. Not cropped. The divisions on the steel ruler are 1 millimetre, so area captured about 7mm x 5.25 mm.
I used a vintage Minolta MD 50/3.5 Macro Lens with two 1:1 extensions, a complete set of total 68mm extension rings from Admiral and a Camray Macro lens.
The picture shows a caliper with the reading 10.1mm on the nonius. The upper scale shows milimeters, the magnification is more than 3.

Each ferrite core stores one bit of information. A core can be magnetized in either the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction. The value of the bit stored in a core is zero or one according to the direction of the core's magnetization. Current computer memory is based on metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) technology where each bit is stored using tiny capacitor and a transistor.
Lens at x5 Magnification with extension tubes taking it to about x7 magnification. Each line is ½mm apart. Stacked from 22 images.
This 3D printed army tank is one inch long from the tip of the gun to the back of the vehicle. My 3D printer will print layers that are 0.4mm thick. Zoom in to see how the layers stack up to make the object.
The grid is 1 centimeter squares. The photo is two inches wide.
Another 80 megapixel photo.
This is a close as I could get. This is a small button battery with a millimetre scale behind it. I used 49mm of extension tubes and a reversed 50mm Chinon lens. I have not cropped the picture, this is the size out of the camera. The entire picture is 12mm across. HMM!!
1967 Singapore five cents with Singapore Ten Dollar note in background.
Shot with a ring light for lighting.
Less than 1 3/4 inch. 60mm macro lens. the tape measure is propped up in the plant. And my face is in the plant too.
Nonpareils (sprinkles) on an antique ruler.
Macro Mondays: My Closest
Technically not the closest I can do, but my closest today for this challenge.
Three 3mm Diameter LEDs placed on a Steel Rule.
The image size is 14mm x 14mm
My Closest with my 50 mm Macro Lens without extensions
Many thanks for the comments and Favs much appreciated HMM
Photo taken for the January 17, 2022 Macro Mondays theme: my closest.
Thanks to this week's theme, I learned new things about the capabilities of my phone's camera (pro mode with manual focus, voice control).
I also dug out the cheap macro lens I bought for a couple of bucks at a garage/rummage sale (it appears to be the one shown here) and finally gave it a try. This is my first time trying to take such a close photo and I definitely need more practice...
This beautiful little notebook features Petrykivka painting by Olena Skytsiuk - I love the colors and the detail.
The tape measure is in cm/mm; photo is not cropped.
Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) was a German painter and one of the most important representatives of early expressionism.
She is recognized as the first known female painter to paint nude self-portraits.
This close-up depicts a tiny detail of a German stamp. 6.5 mm of it, to be precise!
To get that close, I used a good old reverse ring, associated with an ancient 28 mm Minolta manual focus lens, a converter from Minolta MC to Sony E-mount AND my 3 Macro rings (10 + 16 + 21mm).
The blue ruler put on top is not exactly sharp but shows that the whole width of the picture is about 6.5 mm.
Can't get any closer than THAT, even with trying hard! 😄

Laowa 65mm CA-Dreamer 2X Macro
Each square is 3/16" (4.76 mm) - the total width of the image is less than .94" (23.88 mm).
Those are some runners-up for this week's Macro Monday theme "My Closest".
The pictures have been taken with the same setting as "Paula's eyes", namely a Minolta 28 mm lens mounted reversed on top of a macro ring stack (10 + 16 + 21 mm)...
They are close-ups of various Swiss money bills (50 CHF for that one).
Width is indicated by the blue ruler at the bottom: ~6.5 mm.
Figure is 1.5" x .75"
U.S. 10-cent/dime and shadow of clear plastic ruler included for size (1 inch head to stomach)
This is a 2019 Canadian 1 Dollar coin. It is affectionately known as a Loonie due to the loon portrait on the reverse side.
Scroll saw blades. The smallest division on the rule is half a millimetre

The edge of the ruler at the bottom of the frame is graduated in mm - the width of the subject is about 7mm.
