A sparkly ball; for scale, see here.

(825x540, 83.7KB)		 Small metal clockwork hen.
ma0.jpg
(825x478, 100.9KB)		 Diamond ring; I was using bike lights to illuminate it, and it's interesting to see how much more yellow they are on film than they looked when taking the shots.

Close-up on a spinning holographic disk; this is pretty much what it looks like at a distance, there's just more of it there.
ma4.jpg
(818x537, 83.0KB)		 Again, 65-116 tube + flash. It's nice to be able to get close enough that it becomes difficult to identify what the picture actually is -- in this case, one of the petals of a flower.

(874x578, 67.5KB)		 Same subject + kit as previous image.
ma_fl2.jpg
(877x575, 63.0KB)		 Closeup on a leaf; using 65-115 tube and off-camera flash handheld on the far end of a TTL cable. Came out surprisingly well, if I'm honest.

This was taken using a Vivitar 55mm macro lens; it'll let you get up to 1:1 which is plenty for puffy flowers like this one, and it stays nice and sharp too.

(429x659, 76.6KB)		 Again, using 65-116 tube and flash. Flash is a big help here, because it let me open the aperture enough to get a decent depth of field without needing to use a tripod to get a steady enough shot.

Some macro shots; all taken with Olympus OM-2SP and a variety of extension tubes.
