I have such fun with macro photos, all the more so with tiny objects and the Venus Optics Laowa lens that magnifies objects by 2. I like to test my wonky close-sighted eye and vision to see how closely I can capture something like these onion flakes.
Fun to keep experimenting. Took tweezers to drop a few onion flakes into the miniature bottle.
*Height of glass bottle and cork: 0.87 inches/ 2.2cm. Side to side width: 4cm/1.57 inches. Aperture between f/8—f/11. No highlight clipping, I promise.

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!"

(Lack of outdoor photos results from summer hayfever or grassfever. I’m sorrier than you know ;-))

Warning: Don't try this after using a rescue inhaler for hayfever. The steady hands of my husband replaced these tiny dandelion seeds or dandelion clocks into the itty bitty bottle (1.8 cm tall/ 0.07 inches tall). Made by a wee glass blower.

Four miniature bottles measuring a total of 5cm /1.97 inches across, possibly for Macro Mondays. Each one contains a few molecules of a mystery substance.
Each 1.8cm bottle (or 0.70 inch), purchased from Etsy. Link in first comment. (A very tiny glass-blower makes these.)
Link in first comment. I take such joy in trying to align and move these tiny bottles.
