Beautifully done Iggy. You are def, the master at this technique. love that second one, and is the last a grain of salt?

Cool set - Macros can be fun

The last one looks like ice/hail, but I suspect you are too crafty for that:evil2:. I am happy to go with salt, but I am just as intrigued by what the surface is that it is resting on :confused:?

Alright, I'll give it up... going to sleep soon. This is a grain of table salt sitting on top of a piece of black bristol board. Photographed with my 18-55mm kit lens reversed at 18mm. I haven't done the calculations but I think it's 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 magnification.

Really cool, Iggy. Love the way you use your lens in reverse. I tried it once .... and utterly failed at it. Great detail, nice light, and super processing.
