The first one of this year ... A Lentil

Interesting - I never would have known.

Agree with Paul, do you know what magnification that is?

 

[Kell]

I thought maybe some type of mushroom on first glance.

 

[Shugpug]

Very interesting - I was in the mushroom camp too!

 

[BobBCN]

Neat close up. Nicely done!

 

[LC2]

As others have said, I would never have known it was a lentil (ours are red for a start).

 

[Allan.H]

Fascinating, I thought it was a seed of some sort.

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, when I first saw it, I thought that it was an agate...

A really good take on the theme!

 

[RyanB]

Never would have guessed a lentil, well shot.

 

[Chevin]

Interesting - I never would have known.

Thanks Paul, the colours are quite surprising

Agree with Paul, do you know what magnification that is?

Thanks Keith, magnification was around 2.5 ... the image is full frame, for an M4/3.
I used a Zuiko 80mm f4 Macro with a close-up lens which gives a focal length of 170mm. The lens is mounted to an 65mm -116mm Olympus Telescopic Auto Tube ... at full extension the magnification is 2 on a M4/3 sensor, however there is also the adaptor from OM-N lens to my Oly M1 mk111 which adds another 25 mm extension tube ... hence 2.5 ish

I would never have guessed a lentil, I though some kind of obscure truffle.

Very nice assemblage of macro skills.

Week 2 ... Cold. It could have been better but by the time I'd looked at the image in LR the crystal had melted

[Boots]

You may think it could have been better... I rather like it!

 

[Hadron]

That’s brilliant, love the detail in it.

 

[BobBCN]

Yes, very good detail. Cracking image!!

 

[SimonH]

Very nice Duncan. Lovely detail captured.

 

[Kell]

That's great.

 

[LC2]

Yes, I agree that's very nice.
Simple and to the point.
Nice strong colours too.

 

[-Oy-]

Yep that's a cracker

 

[Shugpug]

That's beautiful - great but of work!

 

[Darkslinger]

Great macro Duncan, the blue background works really well

 

[Cloudforest]

I rather like that Duncan, Nicely done

Thanks Paul ... It's not as tack shape as I would have liked plus the out of focus crystal is (to me!!), distracting. It's just a shame it melted before I could revisit it.

Thanks for your kind comment James.

 

[Chevin]

Thanks Tim, I did like the contrast of the ice and blue

 

[Chevin]

Yep that's a cracker

Cheers Dave
