Uninspired Poppy Seeds

Kind of in a frump. Figured I should post something tho.

Kind of cool actually.. looks like a bunch of fruit or something!

Thanks Gipson! I was playing a bit with the lighting, trying to bring out both internal and surface structure more - but it turns out poppy seeds don't have much of either, even with the contrast pushed to the limits of my camera's capabilities - note the artifacts top, center.

I did get some cool stuff from cloves which have this neat morel texture up close, but I'll reshoot them knowing now what the best parts of them are.

I *really* need a focussing rail. It's nearly impossible to do this level of macro without one.

Focusing rails are nice.. although I seldom use mine! Hand holding is more fun!

What did you think of my moon shot?
