Small round things


Recommended Posts

Excellent image, Edwin. I love the way light plays with the surface texture, giving it a metallic eyeball effect. That's really good.

 

My cool round things are much larger, around a whopping 2mm, give or take some. These are forming sporangia of a Hemitrichia species, likely H. clavata or H. calyculata. Yes, it's a slime mold. When mature they will be a little larger, golden, and fluffy with spore encrusted springy threads. Shot with my trusty workhorse, the Canon Rebel XSi with the 60mm efs lens at 1:1.
