 70-300 mounted plus reverse ring plus reversed 50mm f/1.8.

Focal distance = .5-3cm. Focal depth = maybe 1mm.

I had to set the camera to a 10-second timer and then leave the room for each exposure, because I simply couldn't stay still enough to avoid camera shake. I wonder if cars driving by outside made for noticeable shake.

Edited to add: This is a backlit water droplet on a torn cotton pad. I wouldn't have taken this photo if not for ursula's macro work.

Very cool looking. Reminds me of scenes from the movie "Fantastic Voyage".

Damon, I was checking out the team's work, and I really love this series. What a creative idea, and so well executed! These would make a great gallery showing.

Super cool. Really like this one quite a bit. For some reason it sorta makes me think of the intro scene for Fight Club too.
The colors, the droplet, the DoF... all combine superbly. Nice.

That is a wow picture. Looks like a nerve bundle or some alien object. Nice colors and nice job too.
