3D red/cyan glasses required for viewing.
This is the rig I built to take macro images (such as this). The lights can be moved to any position, which is important because it's hard to get enough light on the subject when the frame is blocking most of the light. Since this photo was taken, I added a more compact switch assembly, replacing the black box with wire and rubber bands wrapped around it.
Rear view is here.

Центральная часть цветка ромашки. Снимок сделан на Canon 550D, объектив Helios 44m-7 с использованием двух макроколец.
One of fifty-one new designs I captured from inside one of my real kaleidoscope. This particular scope uses light from the side which reflects through colored glass into pieces of glass and jewels floating in oil. It also has a black bottom and black sides so the light actually illuminates the inside items like neon. In this one, the fiesta colors have more of a yellow tint because I again changed the light source by setting the scope on a yellow surface.
Again I do feel black and white worked better here I did sharpen it and added some shading to put a focus on the slit like eye of this large python that posed rather nicely for this shot. Giving me a bold and striking shot that my goal is always to make people look at for longer then a few seconds.

Несмотря на свой грозный вид этот жучок имеет очень забавное название "хлебный жук Кузька"😄 ( по научному Anisoplia austriac). В тёплые летние дни его можно встретить на зеленеющих полях и лугах. Ловкими цепкими лапками он перебирает колосья и перелетает с растения на растение в поисках пищи.
Работники сельского хозяйства считают его одним из самых злостных и массовых вредителей на злаковых полях средней полосы. В меню жука Кузьки входят практически все произрастающие на полях злаковые: ячмень, рожь, овёс, а больше всего ему по душе яровая пшеница. Жуки питаются еще не созревшими мягкими зёрнами, выедая их из колосьев. При этом они не только поедают множество молодых зёрен и пыльников, но ещё больше зёрен они вытаскивают из колосков и роняют на землю. Они просто портят колосья, вытряхивая всё их ценное содержимое. Таким образом, уничтожается гораздо больше урожая, чем жуки способны его съесть. Примечательно то, что сам жук живет всего 35-40 дней, а вот перед тем как стать этим самым жуком, он в форме личинки около 2 лет проводит под землёй. Кстати, за свою недолгую жизнь Кузька съедает около 8 грамм зерна.

This particular scope uses light from the side which reflects through colored glass into pieces of glass and jewels floating in oil. It also has a black bottom and black sides so the light actually illuminates the inside items like neon. The edges are more muted in this one, but the green center is very illuminated.

Stinking Willie, out in the Nottinghamshire countryside.
Common names include, Ragwort, Tansy Ragwort Benweed, St. James-wort, Stinking nanny/ninny/willy, Staggerwort, dog standard, Cankerwort, Stammerwort
This all-too-familiar plant is now in its prime - in pony paddocks, waste ground and alongside railway tracks up and down the land, posing a deadly threat to Britain's horses and ponies. The British Horse Society believes up to 6,500 horses die every year from Ragwort poisoning.
Ragwort - Senecio jacobaea - contains a group of deadly toxins. When eaten by grazing animals, particularly horses, the plant causes severe liver damage and is often fatal. These toxins pass from the gut direct to the liver, where they destroy cells until there are too few left to carry out vital functions. Liver failure is then inevitable.
To protect their animals, horse-owners will spend many hours this summer hand-pulling the deadly plants from grazing paddocks.
But the ragwort vigilantes may also be putting themselves at risk. The plant's toxins can be absorbed through the skin or breathed in as pollen grains. Inside the human body, the poisons begin damaging liver cells, a slow and irreversible process leading to cirrhosis, months or even years later.
The plant may even be more dangerous than was once thought. New research shows the seedlings to be more toxic than the mature plants. Grazing animals instinctively avoid the mature plant. But the long, thin leaves of seedlings are not detected and are often eaten within a mouthful of grass.
With the weed continuing its inexorable march across the countryside, it threatens to take its highest ever toll of Britain's horse population this summer.

Structures of a soap film in extreme macro. Captured with a frontal lighting against a black bachground (free hand, cause there is no time to adjust a tripod..). The colors depend on the thickness of the film.

Знакомьтесь - Клоп итальянский))) Наверняка многие видели в своих огородах это яркое насекомое. За интересный окрас люди иногда называют его клоп-тигр или клоп-полосатик. Если же по-умному, то этот клоп называется "щитник линейчатый" или "графозома полосатая" (лат. Graphosoma lineatum). Спросите, что общего у этого клопа с итальянцами? Вполне себе обычный российский клоп:) А дело в том, что кому-то пришло в голову, что подобное сочетание цветов (красно-оранжевая окраска с темными полосами) можно увидеть на форме гвардейцев, охраняющих резиденцию Папы Римского в Ватикане. Загуглите ради интереса, но как по мне, то расцветка клопа имеет мало общего с чудной формой гвардейцев:) А вообще такой окрас не случаен, он выполняет предупреждающую функцию, оберегает обладателя от естественных врагов. Оказывается, можно быть в безопасности, не прячась, а нарочно выставляя себя напоказ. Как правило, выглядят вызывающе те существа, которые обладают какими-либо способами защиты. Так и у клопов имеется весьма неприятный запах, и они несъедобны. Птица не тронет такое насекомое, а паук поспешит избавиться от случайно попавшей в его сети добычи.

In this intimate macro capture, two soldier beetles (Cantharidae family) engage in a moment of courtship atop a slender twig. Their bold contrast of metallic black elytra and vibrant orange bodies makes for a striking visual against the soft, shadowy background. The male clasps the female with delicate precision, their antennae poised in synchronized alertness. The fine detail of their textured wing cases and segmented legs is brought to life through dramatic lighting, offering a rare glimpse into the quiet rituals of insect life that unfold just beneath our notice.
