MISSION: MISSION: Photograph any subject using Low Key lighting technique.
WIT: Initially this was a challenge for me and I spent a few days wondering about how I should approach this. Then it hit me that I had been screwing around with a "light box" of sorts for a few weeks (check out my set: The Black Box). It's the most basic set up I could come up with: a bunch of pieces of black foam board nailed together (for easy disassembly).
For this shot I wanted to focus on something mundane - even boring everyday things can look spectacular under proper lighting and with a tight crop. I started grabbing random things around my house: an orange, a package of barbeque sauce, etc. Nothing was coming out to my liking until I grabbed a handful of swabs. Something about the way they catch the light is really appealing to me.

Orange Tip Butterfly
All afternoon the Orange Tips flew past, but not a one settled for a photograph, until right near the end of our wak this male decided to pose briefly.
The females lay eggs on Lady's Smock and Jack-by-the-hedge
This image shows a longitudinal section of a root tip of Maize (Zea mays). To the left of the image, the large, loosely packed cells of the root cap can be seen. These cells protect the actively dividing meristematic tissue as the root grows down through the soil. This meristematic tissue is located just to the right of the root cap, where the cells are small and undifferentiated. If you follow the lines of cells towards the right, you can see that they increase in length in the zone of elongation. To the right of this zone, the cells become further differentiated, eventually assuming the mature structure related to their function.
This image is taken from a slide in the Botanical slide collection, Department of Plant Sciences, Cambridge. The specimen had been stained with Safranin O and Fast Green and was captured using a confocal microscope. These stains are often used together as general stains on plant material prepared for light microscopy and between them they stain many subcellular structures. The resulting colours are due to a combination of the stains and fluorescent colours in the cells.
The length of the section is approximately 300 µm.
