Super-macro photography

A variety of (albeit crude) images of subjects photographed at magnifications greater than 1:1. When time allows, I will take/post better images of these. I am currently experimenting with "crushing" butterfly/moth wings under weighted microscope glass slides - so that all wing scales lie in the same plane of focus ... initial results look promising ... SO WATCH THIS SPACE and thank you for looking.


GALLERY IN PROGRESS...Enjoy!
