Macro photos

I shot a few photos yesterday for my lesson on macro photography last night. Mostly I used my 90mm Tamron macro lens, but I also did a few frames with my 50mm f/1.4 lens mounted on extension tubes for extreme magnification.

Here’s what my students saw last night.

Alexander Hamilton on a $10 bill.

 

Did you know that you can see the statue of Abraham Lincoln inside the Lincoln Memorial on the back of a penny?

Water drops form tiny lenses in a window screen.

My chainsaw needs sharpening.

A blossom on the dogwood tree we planted over the weekend.

A peony I shot on film several years ago.

Another look at that dandelion.
