Waiting for small things

[Trent Watts]

My new 90 ml macro lens arrived this week. I think I'm getting desperate for insects and mushrooms to try it out.
This is pretty lame as a macro subject but, hey you work with what you have I guess.

Reminded me of the surface of the sun.

A closer look at some of the craters on the surface of the sun.

Another layer closer.

In case it wasn't obvious what my subject was here it is.
I noticed this orange going a bit off so set it up and encouraged more mold growth to see if I could get some detail shots.

Not what I would call a wall hanger but pretty good macro work

 

[Trent Watts]

Yes. I was desperate for sure. Thanks Ben.

I was guessing it was an orange well before I scrolled to the bottom as I recognized the surface textures and the mold. I grew up around lots of ornamental orange trees in Phoenix as a kid and the oranges they produced weren't really edible so there were tons of molding oranges laying around for homeowners to clean up.

Interesting to see it up close like this.

Nice orange. I love them!

Wow Trent! Now that's making good use of an otherwise worthless orange.

Good job with the new macro!
