Looks like you have another 4-leaf clover behind that one too!
There is! 
At first I found one, and then lo-and-behold there were two sitting right next to each other! So I kinda set that shot up by moving them around a little bit. I resisted the urge to pick them, so maybe a few more will grow there
Feel free to take a shot finding them in this pic:

BTW, I edited the other post with the two clovers to link to the full pic incase anyone wants it as a background or something to use around March...

These were shot with a Fujifilm S2 Pro and a Sigma 50mm macro lens (my favorite!). (Here's the rig I used for most of them.)

Awesome shots!!! Can you explain a few of them? What's that first one of? Is that really someone's eye? It seems waaaay dialated. What is that sphere one? Is that a marble?

Thanks! The first one was taken with a macro lens looking across the top of a glass of water. I set the flash to strobe at about 10Hz for 10 flashes or so. Then I dropped the metal core of a mouse ball into the water and opened the shutter for maybe a second or so (I'd have to check the EXIF to be sure).jmroberts70 said:
The eye is what my eye looked like after they put muscle-relaxing drops into my eyes for an eye exam. The interesting thing is that when your irises relax that much, your pupil gets so big that your eyes don't focus very well anymore. I'm luck the shot came out at all, given the state my eyes were in when I took it
.The one that looks spherical is actually just a very thick multi-coated lens from a missile sighting scope or something like that. Maybe from some IR optics. I don't really remember. Here's a different view of it that makes it more clear what you're looking at.
Well my s400 sucks compared to you DSLR guys, but the more I look at macros, the more I think I want to buy a DSLR with a nice lens. I love closeups, and I can;t get close enough.
I just found the macro function last week, so go easy on me (if these are even considered macros )
and my favorite... this was before I learned to use the high ISO/low exposure for improved depth of field. It came out because all I can seem to focus on is LOGIC, and the rest just fades away
