The spice of life
Time to spice things up a bit. I don't think I've ever posted a macro shot so here it goes. This is a shot of some pepper. Shot with a 100mm f2.8 macro at 1:1 with a 50mm f1.8 reversed onto it. I'm at f25 and my DOF is under 1mm. Also of note, this picture has been cropped down by a factor of 4 so it can easily be displayed. Just for fun, here's a 100% crop. Nice thing about shooting macro is that one can have a ton of opportunities to shoot rather mundane things and see them in a new way.

WOWWW, this is really cool!
Are all the things pepper -- both the dark and light balls? That's crazy!
Again, love the shot!
This is really cool! Good job!

Wow great macros!
It's cool how the light colored pepper seems perfectly round.
Just curious... what's in the background?
Now that you have the technical side down, maybe you can actually arrange the individual grains of pepper into a nice still life composition. :)
It's a new genre, micro still life.

Really neat shot. I like how you can see the texture of each pepper grain. If you did not say what it was, you would think it was something from outer space taken from the Mars rover. Great shot. I'll have to dig out my macro stuff also.
