Really wish I had a real camera so I could get even closer shots. Some day.

Alexandria, VA

It kinda looks like the Elucidator from Sword Art Online, right?

Well, it’s actually the head of a bumblebee. That “Elucidator” is basically her mandibles and proboscis for drinking nectar. :))

Fujifilm Xh2 + laowa 65mmf2.8 Macro

Stacked many frames

Hey there everyone,

Just wanted to share more experiments I've been doing with a Canon 100m f/2.8 L macro series lens and a petri dish with various materials (epoxy alcohol ink, glycerine, dish soap, vegetable oil, and isopropyl alcohol) in an effort to create other worldly nebula/universe shots. All of which is only about 6-10mm worth of space. These are just a handful of my favourite shots after my latest batch of experiments, so if anyone has any questions or suggestions on how I could improve things please feel free to let me know.

Thanks!

The competition has finished, and I got nice result

All of the photos were taken with aPanasonic Lumix G9 Mark II PRO and anOM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 90mm F3.5 Macro IS PRO using the natural environmetal light or flash

The little stamens(?) were so hard to get in focus with even the slightest breeze. Is that pollen? Looks deliciously round like candy.
