The subject of the photo is tiny only maybe 5-10mm across. This was the first shot and the least blurry. I think he’s actually the original owner of the shell and not a hermit crab, but it’s so small very hard to see …
The other object are basically large bits of sand ! My lens is only a couple of inches away.
I’m photographing patches of sand at the moment as I think they’d make useful background for other work, graphic design stuff. Bonus is I’m getting some shots like this too 🙂

Teeny tiny! Just shows you all the amazing things right under our noses (or in this case our feet) that are rarely noticed! So many colors and lovely textures.
Absolutely, couldn’t agree more 🙂
It gives me a ‘falling forward’ effect… Macros reveal things we miss in the big picture; like the abundance of life on this planet! That’s a good idea for backgrounds too; no seams :O)
Thanks and yes I saw the sand washed by the waves and thought, yes that would make a good background … so I’ve been taking photos from different distances in different lighting, will end up with a collection !
Nice!
This photo almost provoked me to enter my pc so that I can clear them up and see what is beneath. Lol.. I don’t know why.. 🙂 ..
LOL, took me a moment to understand … but I got it 🙂

Let’s hope so, western countries darn cold at the moment …
yes, I love it 🙂
Thanks dude 🙂
Very nice shot Don. Many of these would be very beautiful in a jewelry. Of course not the ones alive.
Irene
Yes, not alive Irene! I can’t see those little guys dangling from my ears!
LOL … they are actually tiny, like large grains of sand … and yes of course not the live ones, that’d be cruel !
Nice shot! Forget the hermit crab. Look real close over in the top right corner. I think I can see … yes … Jesus!!!
LOL … that’s too funny !
Backup? This is just lovely by itself.
Thanks … didn’t get the backup ? are you commenting on two posts at once ?
