Great job!
Well this is definitely an original approach! But it is quite clever seeing all the individual pixels.
Love how you are sticking with this project.
So many neat patterns! Many of which are forgettable by normal vision, but turn into something fun with macro.
This is a great way to do this challenge if you don't have a true macro. Next time watch your shutter speed and don't be afraid to up your ISO - you have a bit of camera shake from the slower SS. ❤️
So interesting to see macros from you; very different. My favorite is the third one.
Ummm...no archive photos, Ken! Shame, shame, shame.
Oh, a bike tire! I actually thought this was a tractor tire at first. Great idea to focus on one tread nub.
I call this "Ben's Nose".😁 Took some patience because he kept wanting to sniff the camera.😂

Busted! Sorry boss….. will try again
As I got caught being lazy, using a close up shot from archives. Mea Culpa. I posted that in a panic as I was about to run out of the time window and didnt have access to this one which I took for this P52 task.
So, here is a macro shot of a flake of Maldon Seasalt (as it is typically flakes of salt not grains) that I took - very recently. It was taken from directly above with a single diffused speedlight off to the side. I should have focus stacked it as the tip is not in focus but I was astonished at the over all level of detail achieved.

@mollyc first of all, your macro shots are magnificent! After this week’s challenge, I admire them even more, as it is by no means easy to get the focus, the light, and the background right! Thanks for sharing.
I myself don’t shoot a lot of macro (I think the last time was in my photography class back in high school), so I got inspired by your lovely pictures and played around with my camera and some flowers in the garden. I don’t own any special macro gear (except my phone’s macro mode) and so I just got as close to the subject as possible and came up with these photos. It was surprisingly difficult for me to find a calm and non-destructing background – but probably a dedicated macro lens or at least an adapter might help with this one. Nevertheless, I’m very happy with my results. CC is welcome.
All in all, it was a great challenge this week, and it seems like spring has arrived!

Super fun! Lots of texture here.I call this "Ben's Nose".😁 Took some patience because he kept wanting to sniff the camera.😂

Using a really long lens works surprisingly well at times for a not-macro macro image. Yay for crocuses and spring!
Thank you for cooperating. 😉 This is actually a lot more interesting, IMO than your other image and it's really neat to see the structure of the salt.
Another yay for spring post! I really love the snowdrop one.
