    Its more than a macro its microscopic, i feel tiny looking at it like its a whole other planet. You caught the detail so well and using B/W adds to its delicate form. Great image.

    It really turned out well. What equipment did you use?

  • mawaho replied

    The camera I used was my old 3 megapixel Fuji Finepix. It had a good macro function and I still use it today using the movie mode which is quite good too.

    fantastic
    what program did you use to merge the two photos together?

  • mawaho replied

    I did it in photoshop, but any program with layers where you can put one on the other and then mask out or erase the bits you don’t want and merge together as one, if that makes sense.

  • Tallow

    Tallow

    thanks Mawaho. I understand what you are saying. I will give it a try
