Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted September 28, 2013 Root Admin ID:735473 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Macro shot of an apple I took. Don't forget to wash your apple before eating it. (if you click on the image you can zoom in pretty far) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daledoc1 Posted September 28, 2013 ID:735489 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Aw, shucks!That's just a little "natural" penicillin. It's probably why Grandma advised eating an apple a day! Seriously, COOL shot!One can zoom in nearly to the level of individual mycelia.Now THAT'S a MACRO shot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted September 28, 2013 ID:735508 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Wrong type of Penicillium Mold. Most natural Penicillium don't have the anti bacterial mico toxins that is penicillin and not sufficient quantities for a greater than 125 lb human body if it was. Grandma's advice was good because of the vitamins, nutrients and natural fiber in apples. However, don't eat the seeds as Apples tend to concentrate Cyanide in their seeds. Ron: I was at a Photography store the other day and I saw a cool Macro Shot lighting apparatus, Promaster RL60 LED Macro Ring Light. It uses a Cokin Adapter Ring that screws on to the lens and the Macro Ring Light slides onto the Cokin Adapter. Instead of being an expensive strobe flash, it uses a band of relatively high intensity LEDs that is either "on", "off" or "half side - on" rather than flash triggered. .

I was just kidding. BTW, her advice NOT to eat the seeds (or other fruit pits) was also well-founded. Minute quantities of cyanide. Nothing that the body can't handle via detoxification, though.

daledoc1 Posted September 28, 2013 ID:735517 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Of course, I can't get anything over you.... Sure you can. Besides, real penicillin comes in soup form, preferably with noodles (or Matzo balls). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, don't eat the seeds as Apples tend to concentrate Cyanide in their seeds. An apple also has enough fructose in each serving to cause malabsorption, so be sure to take a glucose tablet or two if you do eat one. As for moldy apples, you can keep those. I'm allergic to mold.

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted September 28, 2013 Author Root Admin ID:735626 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Money should go to good lens. Great body can't help a bad lens. A great lens can help a bad body Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted September 28, 2013 ID:735627 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Yeah, I guess that is true due to all that can go wrong with optical aberrations. You can buy a Good Harley for the price of the Nikkor 800mm lens. I can see why a wife would put a hubby in the dog house over its purchase. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWB Posted September 29, 2013 ID:735717 Share Posted September 29, 2013 speaking of great bodies ... however , i shall digress . nice picture .i was able to dl and run the file in photoshop using the embedded sRGB profile ... i can see the individual "hairs" quite well at "100%" .any higher magnification and the image starts falling apart .very good color resolution ... "down in the hole" the light reflected from the surface of the apple changes the color of the "hairs" ... the reference being the "white" of the brightly lit section of hair .the focus point did not seem to be the tip of the stem . my monitor may need some help ... i am seeing some "aliasing" between some of the "hairs" on the right side of the stem .maybe this is a refraction effect ?edit : hmmm ... photobucket is limiting the file to about 100K .(methinks it is time to find a new host) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
