Took this in my garden this afternoon. 😍

A close-up photo of a red petchoa flower, with greenery and more flowers in the background. The flower has a deep yellow tunnel for a centre, and the deep red petals are all attached in a wavy open skirt. I took this photo in my garden.

The city has been coated in pollen for the past few weeks now it seems.

As far as I can tell, most of the visible part seems to come from pines, but there's a lot of different kinds.

A close up photo of pollen grains on a glass slide, only a small sliver of the image is in focus, in it individual yellowish grains can be seen as small dots on a dark background. The edge of the glass can be seen to the side, and seems rough.Darkfield microscope image of various grains of pollen. The grains are greenish, most are of the double/triple lobed pine type.Whitefield microscope image of various pollen grains. Some, seemingly from pines, have a characteristic triple-lobe shape.

Even better, this one was probably worth the time and effort.

Tip of a stalk of lichen (maybe Cladonia cariosa, but probably a Cladonia species). 27 image focus stack at approximately 100X. This is green lumpy surface and one red protuberances near the end.

Much better. Focus stack of 15 images, visible part of stalk is about 1-1.5mm long.

I fumbled these lichen (maybe Cladonia cariosa, but probably a Cladonia species) and got a bunch of detritus on the cover glass, ruining a whole bunch of photos, but I may be able to fix some of it. In the meantime, these pictures didn't suck.

Definitions in #photography … 🤨

#macroPhotography is the practice of making small objects look big…

so logically…

#microPhotography would be the practice of making big objects look small. I guess like #astroPhotography does…

BUT, and this really pisses me off, it turns out that many photographers believe #macroPhotography = #microPhotography, cowardly replacing the hard '=' with weasel words like 'basically the same'.

Cut that shit out people, it makes as much sense as dietary calories.
