Forgot to add this one.....

Almost forgot this one...   one of my favorites ..

                                

  Of course,  the screen image, does not show the true beauty of the

Fun with magnification !!

Here are a few photos I did a wile back, using a old (film) bellows to magnify about 10 times !
                 The photos are full frame , as seen in the view finder ( not cropped in )

























                                                            First the back of a penny....





























This is what it looked like..... simple one strobe flash (on left side ) with a steady light on to see.
                                        Using a Nikon D70 S digital camera,



























                                                                   and a dime....


























                                 same dime,  only as close as I could get,
