Day 1: Falling sugar crystals
by johst582

Comment:
This is just ordinary sugar, but yes - the 50 mm in front of the 200 mm gives 4x magnification. Add to that the magnification from sensor to screen, and we're talking about something like 40x magnification, similar to a low power microscope :). So the big ones that are 4-5 cm long on the screen are around one millimeter in real life.

Good point - it sort of looks 3D with the sugar tumbling down through space from the top right. I didn't think about that!

Nice, but a bit too obvious tonemapping.

Well, well, I hoped for a personal best, but the votes were just too spread out this time. Three ones?? But, on the bright side: One fav, four tens, six nines and fifteen comments!

Nice idea - did you also try fading gradually between shots?
