Wow, pjern, NOW we're talkin' MACRO! I knew the ones I posted aren't really honest-to-god macro, but... they were the closest I had. But, damn, those needle eyes and watch innards... whoa!

Heh, I did most of those with a reversed 50mm lens on a D50. The butterfly was done with a cheapo close-up filter on a 70-300 zoom.

Oooh. Ooh. I just uploaded this to flickr. Not a proper one like pjern's blinders, though.

There was an Old Man with a flute,—
A sarpint ran into his boot!
But he played day and night, till the sarpint took flight,
And avoided that Man with a flute.

Specklet those are AWESOME. I like the texture on flapjax's shots & I LOL'd at the gummi bears!

pjern the drill bit & butterfly are great, too. Man y'all are pros.

posted by chewatadistance 14 May | 15:14

These are great! Sorry, y'all, I keep falling down on the posting job - big thanks to flapjax at midnite who picks up my slack. This is the first time I've had a chance to get near a computer all day. Still can't get to the one where I could upload the pic I took this morning, but, well, here are a few macroish.
