You have captured a sense of a floating world that I like very much.

It was hot but dry today.

Beautiful flowers Akira. What's their name? I think we had similar ones (not exactly same) back in 80s.

Thank you, Zang!  This is hollyhock (Alcea rosea).

Being in Duckweed Shooting Mode is a challenge, but of course there is little need of ever leaving my home and another pot of coffee brewing :)

I've been documenting a peculiar feature of Lemna japonica Japanese Duckweed the last day(s), and found I needed to make my focusing stack in a slanted angle. This in order to capture the sequence of papules (small pustules or papillae) along the median nerve on the dorsal side. They are very small and tend to blend in with the frond surface unless one lights them very carefully. Even then, the task was much tougher than I had expected and I'm still not completely satisfied with the outcome, so keep on trying more.

Here anyway is the current setup on my kitchen table, comprising the Z7, Laowa 25mm f/2.8 Ultra-Macro lens (CPU enhanced), Heim fibre optics, Stackshot rail, and all bolted onto one of my old faithful and rock sturdy Nikon Multiphot stands.Magnification is 5X and next step might be going up to 10X with the Mitutoyo 10X objective. However the last rig is physically longer thus inherently more unstable in an orientation off normal, plus the Mitutoyo is more prone to flaring when lighting is tricky.

A snapshot with the 85mm f/3.5 Voigtländer APO-Lanthar on the NEX-5N Monochrome.

More coffee awaits the intrepid photographer :(
