Thanks Kristy, Denise and Carolyn.

It's amazing to me how the simplest of things can assume a life of their own in extreme macro.
That which we see every day is transformed into something totally new.
We often see little dramas unfolding that would otherwise go un-noticed.
We revel in the intimate detail which unfolds through our lenses...as we forever strive to get even closer.

Depth of field with a bellows assembly at this level of magnification is measured in microns so one realistically has to envision how the final product will actually appear.
...And there-in lies the challenge and the fascination.
