Macro Challenge! Grain of RICE!

[cgipson1]

Jesus,

Ok I'm a fan

Gipson, you are going to have to step it up, son.

What do you mean? At least I am smart enough to pick BUG FREE rice! lol!

That was the first grain I picked out, too and my wife is like "what are the odds ... oh. eww. I don't want to think about that."

lol its fun to see how random a photo can but yet very interesting

 

[cgipson1]

yea.. I have a whacked sense of humor! (But at least I have a sense of humor.. there are some here who don't!)

I'm just curious, though. At what point is a macro a micro?

My first image was not cropped at all, and the second only cropped to a square aspect ratio. I figure the first one is in the neighborhood of 20x. Being that this is a macro challenge, am I disqualified?

(seriously tho, what is the difference between macroscopic and microscopic?)

The macroscopic scale is the length scale on which objects or processes are of a size that is measurable and observable by the naked eye.

he microscopic scale is the scale of size or length used to describe objects smaller than those that can easily be seen by the naked eye and which require a lens or microscope to see them clearly.

This should have been a "guess what the photo is of" thread... I wonder if anyone would have figured it out at 100% crop.

oh, ok. So the rice itself is macroscopic, but the features of the insect inside would be approaching microscopic scale.

Yes! But after you eat it, would it really matter?
