Tiny twin mushrooms emerging from a fir cone’s layered bark. Shot with my Nikon Z6II + Nikkor Z 105mm Macro, handheld in fading light.
Focus stacked in Helicon Focus 8.3.0, processed in Lightroom 14. I love the subtle glow and texture in these delicate caps.
a 360 panoramic photo around the inside of Cardiff Castle. This picture is made up of around 15 photos, taken in portrait, which is subsequently used to make a Tiny World / Tiny Planet photo and a "tunnel" photo on photoshop
Polar panorama made from 4 exposure pano of downtown Winston Salem, NC. Created in PS CS6 - Not perfect but these little worlds are tough to perfectly blend! I love the challenge, plus they're just downright cool if you ask me!
First time making this terrible tiny world, I ran out of photos (never be able to imagine what is needed for this). Next time has to be much better!~~

🌸 Lo que parece una simple flor encierra un universo oculto a nuestros ojos. A medida que aumentamos el nivel de detalle, la estructura de la gerbera revela formas y texturas fascinantes.
Desde los delicados flósculos hasta el refugio microscópico del polen, cada imagen es una ventana a la precisión con la que la naturaleza diseña sus formas.

From the delicate florets to the micro-refuge of pollen, each image is a window into nature's precision in design.

I've been looking for more creative ways to play with old photos this week. One thing that I have been meaning to make was a "tiny planet" photo using one of my panoramas. It turns out that with a little bit of planning, some basic photoshop and google it's not too hard.
Basic Instructions:
Step 1 - select a panoramic shot to your liking (see below tips)
Step 2 - Use the "Image Size" tool to create a perfect square of your pano. You will have to be sure the "constrain proportions" box is unchecked.
Step 3 - Inverse your image by using "Image Rotation -> Rotate 180
Step 4 - Go into filters and select "Distort->Polar Coordinates". Be sure the box "Rectangular to Polar" is checked.
Step 5 - Clone out the seam and use other tools that you are comfortable with to put the finishing touches on your final product.
Congrats! You should now have something that looks like a planet. If you want to get creative, go take a picture of the night sky, add a black background or a fancy border.
Lessons Learned:
The first thing you need to do is select a suitable panoramic shot. Remember - a panoramic shot is at least twice as long as it is wide. There are three other major things to consider:
1) Be sure that the image you are using has the same foreground across your entire image. The foreground (bottom) of the image is going to get twisted in a tight radius.
2) Try to work with a picture that has similar shapes on the left side and right side of your image. Since they will be spliced together, they need to be similar in size and exposure or it might cause problems later.
3) Finally, be prepared to use your clone tool to smooth out the seam that will form when it's put together. This will take some time, so be patient.
Here's where I learned from:

This charming miniature pizza oven diorama captures the rustic essence of traditional Italian pizza-making, complete with a detailed wood-fired brick oven, a flour-dusted pizzaiolo, and freshly prepared pizzas waiting to be served. The scene transports viewers to a cozy countryside pizzeria, where handcrafted pies bake to perfection inside an authentic stone oven with a classic terracotta tile roof.
The pizzaiolo figurine, dressed in a white chef’s outfit with a red scarf and cap, skillfully maneuvers a wooden pizza peel, tending to a golden, bubbling pizza inside the oven. His carefully sculpted posture and delicate fabric clothing add realism to the piece, making it a true work of artisanal craftsmanship. A sack of flour labeled “Farina” rests nearby, emphasizing the time-honored techniques of traditional pizza-making.
On a small wooden table, four freshly prepared pizzas with red tomato sauce, creamy mozzarella, and basil-like toppings await their turn in the oven. The attention to detail, from the textured dough to the rustic wooden elements, creates a scene filled with nostalgia and authenticity.
The oven itself is a masterpiece, featuring hand-sculpted bricks, realistic soot stains, and a carefully charred interior that mimics the high heat of a true wood-fired pizza oven. The straw-covered floor and rough-hewn wooden base enhance the diorama’s old-world charm, making it an exceptional decorative piece for food lovers, collectors, and pizza enthusiasts alike.
Perfect for display in a pizzeria, home kitchen, or as part of a miniature collection, this handcrafted scene is a delightful tribute to Italy’s culinary heritage and the artistry of traditional pizza-making.
This little fella got knocked off the plant by accident. Wondered if it would open if it was put in some water, well it now sits on the kitchen table and is enjoyed every day.

“A strong feeling deriving from one’s circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.”[1]
Emotions is a series of images, that explores how I visualise, the relationship of human emotions that I feel strongly about. Inspired by the emotional theories of Plutchik, Aristotle and Darwin, each image has a paired negative to positive emotion.
Emotion as a term is difficult to define – despite everyone knowing what an emotion is, if asked most observers will struggle to provide a definition. Imagery however serves up emotions as an observable human condition and a perceptible entity, a message, an epitaph to the viewer. Emotions are a powerful aid that allows us to change the way we think. The two sides of emotions are not simply negative and positive, they can have conflicting consequences. Positive emotions can lead to a contrasting negative consequence, whilst negative emotions can lead to positive consequences.
My images are an investigation into the representation of emotions as depictions, ideas realised through miniature figures. These document and question how we perceive our emotions and the tensions that circumscribe the realisation of our daily lives, the physical and mental strings that pull us, like puppets, driving us as individuals, and shaping our personal existence.
The use of miniature 00 and TT gauge figures references to both Masahiro Mori’s 1970 theory Uncanny Valley and Sigmund Freud’s seminal 1919 essay The Uncanny which hypothesizes that the “uncanny effect is produced by effacing the distinction between imagination and reality.”[2]

The forest was still dripping when I found this perfect mushroom standing tall among the damp leaves. The cap glistened with water, catching soft light between clouds.
Captured on the Nikon Z6II with the Nikkor Z 105mm f/2.8 Macro. Manually racked focus and stacked in Helicon Focus, then refined in Lightroom 14.
