The acorn above was about 10mm wide, a teensy tiny little acorn found in the park while the girls climbed and played.
Below is a photo of the dried remains of the tick that tried to eat Sarah alive. She found it on her leg after we returned from Stone Barns, a beautiful farm near Westchester, NY. She was worried she had popped its head off when she yanked it out, so we're happy to see the head intact here. This tick was about 1.2 - 2mm long.
This pic isn't super sharp to my liking—I had to use my extra macro adapter to make the tick large enough for the photo and this affects the sharpness. What happens at magnifications this high, with lenses as big as the 65mm MP-E, is a distortion called diffraction. Essentially, overall sharpness decreases with high magnification and high f-stop (small aperture). This is different than a shallow depth of field, which we also experience in high-magnification photography.
OK, enough with the macro/microphotography lesson!
At the bottom, we have a close-up of the print on a price label. I love the distressed typography and the texture of paper pulp.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
