Take Your Best Guess!

these are all macro images, 4:1 or 5:1, so technically micro and way beyond lifesize.
shot on a d200 with a 60mm macro lens, an extension tube, and pb-5 bellows,
and assorted speedatron lights and fill cards. try and guess what they are!











1. a small dental tool with the mirror on one end. you can see three triangle ridges in the shot, across the actual tool there is 19 of them, and the tool is the size of my pinky. i hope that gives you an idea to how close up these are.

2. a coffee bean! the black line on the bottom is actually the ridge that goes across the middle of the coffee bean, although you can't see into it. so it's essentially just a sliver of the middle of it

3. a close up of a yellow shirt, where you cannot see any white thread, or any individual thread at all for that matter.

4. a close up of a block of cascade dishwasher detergent. it was supposed to be brand new, clean, and sterile, too. gross.

imo the strongest image is the thread. I love the detail. I've never really looked that close at the fabric, but did after this was shown in class. very nifty.

The soap freaks me out. Nice up close texture work.
