Still life shrimp

[Mark Evans]

so, the perfect host for some macro images....A dead shrimp.

DONT PANIC! i didn't kill it! well not deliberately at least. The little sucker died of something, but of what I don't know.

Now this has confirmed what i've always thought about the eye. it's not possible to get it sharp throughout, because of it's round nature.

The still life, gave me chance to get the lighting just right.

Poser how i jest in the face of death

Oh yeah? I'm gonna have to find me some shrimp in the supermarket and really show you how it's done mate.

Oh yeah?

you've a 'god' like status and I know you fully appreciate anything that resembles science or anything that may delve into a world unseen. you helped me step into your world of the matrix a long time ago

I'm gonna have to find me some shrimp in the supermarket and really show you how it's done mate.

thats a good idea actually. I nearly bout some 'critters' from P@H....the live lizard feed. for macro shots of crickets etc.

I like the detail you can see on it's front legs and also that eye is something else, what is going on there? Mental.

 

[mr. luke]

Great shots.
I can just imagine you there, posing this little dead shrimp and talking soothingly to him...

Reminds me of that HBO series - Six Feet Under. Also remind me not to throw away dead shrimp next time

I love the way you can take us into another world with the amount of detail that we'd never see usually.

I'd like to see just how close you can get to the eye, either by upping the magnification on the lens, or by cropping and zooming, or a combination.

We run the danger of taking your excellent photography for granted these days, as there's so much top-end stuff from you. I for one really appreciate you sharing it with us all.

Marvellous stuff! Keep up the great work.
