Summer days brings many of these elegant flyers. Direct translation of their Danish name is: “Gold Smith”, But I like the English name so much better. Dragonfly!
If any of you happen to know its name, I’d like to know.
I found a little trick for taking photos of this insect. Put a thin stick vertically in the ground and wait. They prefer sitting on or close to the top of thin vertical branches. In this case I picked a bamboo about 3/8 inch thick 4 feet long. After less than a minute this one posed for me.
The camera was on the tripod and ready to shoot with help of the IR-remote.

More micro
The ESEM at FORCE Technology is not just a microscope. It is also capable of micro machining the parts in range of its ion-beam.
In this case the nerds (My colleagues) have carved the company logo on a human hair. And a fine hair it is.
No it is NOT photoshop artistery!
This should be enough of these images for a while.
Spider
A little more on close up.
This is the head of a little spider as seen with a scanning electronbeam microscope.
The image was made by my colleagues at FORCE Technology. My inspiration for posting this one was Gerrys post “woodsy-dilemmas“.
Close-up
The moon was “Close-up” the other day.
Someway it inspired me to come up with this contribution to Scotts 12th assignment.
Nop! Not close enough.
What about this:
Much better, but still….
Yes. Now we’re close. I know we are, but it is hard to see without scale. Let me try this instead:
If you click on the image you’ll get a slightly larger version.
Some tech data: ISO-100 f/32 100mm 30sec
Lets look for more details:
ISO-200, f/16, 6 secÂ
This is what I can resolve with My Canon 7D and 100mm MACRO 2.8L IS USM
There is also a little assignment to you my dear visitor. The task is to find out what ties these images together.
