Photos of Tiny, Tiny Things

Posted by: Allen Murabayashi Posted date: October 17, 2008 | 1 Comment

For two years fateful years in college, I was a geology & geophysics major, until I realized that I wasn’t smart enough. But during that time, I spent a bunch of hours looking through a microscope to view and describe mineral samples. There is an awful lot of interesting stuff to see that can’t normally be seen.

So it was very cool to come across a feature on the New York Times about the Nikon International Small World Competition. Who knew such a thing existed?

The photo above is a composite of five different photos of a marine diatom. I would like that on my wall, please.

This is an extraordinary field of photography. Photomacrography and Photomicrography are areas that would be of significant interest to many photographers both from a scientific and artistic perspective. Check the forum http://www.photomacrography.net/forum
