I understand how small the shells are but I nevertheless expected the photos to be a lot sharper. I woul as well try with a completely white and a black background instead of the "natural" gray. I could imagine them to be nice in black and white too.

I have some earlier shots I can show. At the time I was trying to decide the best way of getting these images. This set compares using a reversed Vivitar 28mm lens and a Tamron 90mm F2.8 macro lens and teleconverter. I think these are 1:1 comparison crops that may have been resized. http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry/shells/compare.jpg http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry/shells/compare2.jpg http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry/shells/compare3.jpg http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry/shells/compare4.jpg Last shell is about 2mm. These are full frame shots: http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry/shells/imgp1656.jpg http://homer.chem.sc.edu/perry/shells/imgp1964.jpg (Note the grains of sans) The ruler above shows mm scale. I know there is not much "art" to these but it is a fun way to combine both our hobbies. Perry. On 12/11/06, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Very interesting subject matter!
