 70-300 mounted plus reverse ring plus reversed 50mm f/1.8.

Focal length = .5-3cm. Focal depth = maybe 1mm.

This is a backlit water drop on cotton. I don't really know how big it is, but I can tell you that with this setup, the circular end of a standard safety pin fills the frame.

I took a cotton ball, stretched it out a bit, then sprayed it with water. Set it up in front of a clip-on light, then started searching for droplets through the viewfinder.

Post-processing consisted primarily of sharpening the droplet, enhancing the overall contrast of the image, adding vignetting, and colorizing.

Another excellent macro abstract. The larger droplet in this one seems to display the possibility of a sinister personality.
