Great results with all that old glass! A real delve into a miniature world ..... Those artisan chocolate donuts in the last one look yummy

Loving the build up from normal lens to macro lens, very interesting review of something so 'normal'.
All the gear with no idea

Thank you for the nice comments and pleased that you enjoyed the fungus tour - pity I can't count, however

Top investigating... remind me (in a slightly rounder way) of those tasty little tiny sugar coated chocolate eggs you get at Easter...

Slap in the middle of England
I noticed some tiny specks on the edge of my bird table the other day and wondered if it was a clutch of insect eggs
The piece of timber here is 2inches x 1 inch, to give an idea of the scale
When I fetched the camera with an Industar 61/LZ macro lens I could see that they were not insect eggs but some sort of fungus
I ended up changing to my MacroTakumar, which is 1:1 to see quite what I had found
This is one of the tiniest puff ball fungi (maybe it's an earth ball?) imaginable! You can see where the tips are beginning to split on some of them
and the internal structure of the one that has burst entirely, shedding spores everywhere. The patterns on their skins are lovely too.
Proof was found on the other side of the bird table where there was a colony that was further advanced, with most of the fruiting bodies busily erupting.
This is a more normal sized one, for comparison, about 3inches across (and with a different skin pattern entirely).
Have a wonderful 2018 photographing all the things that float your boat !
