Hi John,
It was a Yvar 36mm f/2.8 cine lens.

My wife is a keen rock hound - she found this small geode with quartz crystals inside on a roadside gravel pile outside Camberville in the Yarra Ranges in Victoria. I photographed a 10mm section with a stack of 100 images using ambient light and a reversed 36mm cine lens on about 43mm of extension. ...

Thanks Rane - I see you are from Finland. A girlfriend of mine was Finnish - she was beautiful.

Jorgen thanks for the link.

Thanks Jorgen,
I like your pollen shots on your website. What technique did you use for the "Hippeastrum flower pollen" photo?

Thankyou Leonard,
I enjoy getting back to the fundamentals with black and white film to sharpen my photographic skills. I find it complements my digital photography.
All the best,

A beautiful shot!

I took these Dandelion Seeds with my 4x5inch view camera at 10x using a reversed 50mm f/1.4 minolta lens on about 500mm of bellows extension the marked aperture was f/16 giving an effective aperture of f/176. The resolution does not equal a stacked digital equivalent but the scanned black and white ...

Yes the colours are beautiful - I like that as well as matching the colour of the sponge these nudibranchs also match the texture of the sponge with its spiky protuberances.

The following images are of the Nudibranch Verconia verconis under Portsea Pier in Victoria, Australia. It can come in a variety of colour forms depending on its food source. Here it is living on the sponge Dendrilla rosea . Note that there is one image where six nudibranchs surround what I believe ...

Hi Beatsy,
