Sugar crystals

Post by nirwa »

My only series in shooting sugar crystals.

They're raw ( big one ) and refined ( small ones ) sugar crystals.
The sheet under the crystals was a piece of mirror-like plastic paper.

Shot by Canon 5D with MP-E 65mm.

I remember seeing sugar crystals the size of ice cubes when I was a kid. I think my mom called it rock sugar or something.

Thanks for viewing the topic, friends.

I tried to show its transparency and texture in the dim aura by various light angles. Hope it shows what I wanted. And, I look for the threads you mentioned P_T.
