Where was this out of interest? Looks like somewhere in the UK, but I could be mistaken.

Actually it's the library at Northwestern University on the Evanston, Illinois campus:

I took that while we were on a tour there during a college visit for my daughter.

Why are there so many Americans yet hardly any fellow Brits on this forum? :laugh:

IDK, especially since the site is based somewhere in Germany IIRC

A bit of macro since I have not done it for a while. This is 11 shot stack. 5D2 , Helios 58mm reversed on extension tubes. ISO 400 , 1/200th a yongnuo flash with pringles tube to make it directional difused with some baking paper. Enjoy

I try ... i try very hard hehe. The gear I use to get these shots blows people away. Helios lens cost me 25 bucks. reverse ring $2.50 and extension tubes $15.00. I dont own a macro lens at all I just improvise with what I have.

This is absolutely stunning! Especially when taking your DIY methodology into account!

People with macro lens often don't achieve shots as good as this! Just goes to show that photography is 10% equipment and 90% skill/creativity.

*sighs* in agreement. I've got solid equipment, but without the time to work on my skills, my photos are much more "miss" than "hit"......

Amen to that brother! That is my exact problem. :laugh:

30 years ago in the heart of the film SLR era I was taking amazing photography. Even had two pictures published in a outdoor magazine...........But, now its 30 years later and I have forgotten all that I knew and did back then.

I don't understand any of the klingon you wrote, but it's great photo.
