Shot at GODIS Candy, Maxvorstadt. Small cinema ad, but I went full micro on the side. Candy super close — once you know the technique, you're less impressed. Super fun job. Check out GODIS for Swedish candy & best coffee in Munich. 🍬

A candle flickers in the dark. It doesn’t need to be seen — it just needs to be lit. Hold your breath, even when the world has already whispered your name. 🌬️ The wind carries your name through the moss. 🍃
In the foreground, wax drips, molten gold, slow river in dark glass. candle flickers, roots of light, feldspar heart. In the background, moss-glow mist, spore-laced sky, root-laced void. 'BREATH IS THE ROOT THAT BLOOMS, SKIN-REMEMBER' text glows in wax pool, pulsing with flicker, reset to melt. fungal bloom microphotography with slow-motion bloom overlay, golden haze backlight with volumetric glow through mist. rose quartz, liquid amber, moss green, dusk violet. floating perspective with roots pulling inward, vast void stretching beyond the edge of the frame.

Individual drops from an inject printer head fall onto a piece of paper. The head appears as a massive layer at the top of the frame with 5 individual droplets and 2 drops still connected falling on to the enlarged view of the paper below. The paper has blots where ink has already fallen. The paper appears thick.

The hairs are white, body and eyes black, and mouth parts brown with hairs. Credit: John-Oliver Dunn Neurons in an expanded mouse brain. The neurons are light blue or white. They have a rounded nucleus and a long, thin axon, or a radial dentrite. They are mostly aligned top to bottom. Credit: Kaelin Wulf/Rachel Flannery The highly enlarged point of a ballpoint pen. The ball fills almost the entire frame, surrounded by its case. More than half the ball is covered in ink. Hairlike dust dots the case surrounding the ball. Credit: Justin Theodore Benttinen

Dragonflies are a common sight during Canadian summers, particularly near wetlands where they hunt insects and lay their eggs.

I really can't fathom how it complies with the stated rules. Structures popping in and out, imitations of four different fluorescent labels based on grayscale imagery...it's no more microphotography than if they'd sketched what they saw looking through the objective.

Fun with Fungi: Brittlegills form an intimate, mutually beneficial partnership with the roots of living trees, this one an Oak. The fun photo is only a tiny part of the network living underground. Try our Dirt Diary: thetropicalgrower.com#garden-dirt #fungj #botany #microphotography #pix #nature

Who knew?!
One of the first practical uses of microphotography involved carrier pigeons. In the 1870s during the Franco-Prussian War, Dagron created microphotographs of official documents and private messages and sent them across enemy lines to Paris in small tubes affixed to a pigeon's wing. Dagron created prints so small that a single pigeon could carry 20 of them at a time. Over 150,000 miniscule pieces of microfilm made it to Paris via carrier pigeon until the Prussians caught on and sent out falcons and hawks to intercept the pigeons.

Out from the ashes of gray desire
Out from the dream and into the fire
I said a lot, it won't mean thing
After she's gone these words will sting
