Medical Photo Shoot

Well, it wasn't much of a photo shoot.  It took all of 10 minutes.  I'm not sure what the test was but the liquid started out clear and it turned red on the index card.  If you are completely lost at this point, see yesterday's post.


That's all it was.  A few drops of the mystery substance on the card, swirl it around for 3 minutes, little flecks appear.  I know, exciting right?  I used my 180mm Macro with a 2x teleconverter and a 12mm extender.  All that jazz let me get really close so I could get all the little flecks.  The circle is only about 1 inch around.  A little photoshop to add the blown up detail.  If this really excites you, feel free to order a print at my gallery site.

I told the people in the lab that I could take photos for them through their microscopes after I saw them and realized that my t-adapter is the right size.  Some comment was made that I would probably want to charge a fortune (jokingly... I hope) and I went on my merry way.  That one event actually made it a pretty good day at work today.  I guess you never know when an opportunity will knock.
