I posted on the Marine and Natural History Photography facebook page asking for help in taking photos of my lenses through a microscope and managed to get hold of someone who would help. As I had no idea what I was doing or what kind of images I would find I feel I came away from the experience with images that are a bit lacking. I found it really frustrating because what I saw through the microscope was absolutely fascinating - I loved the colours and the image was really clear, but it just didn't translate to the camera. The final image below is one I have edited to look more like what I saw without the camera.
In my tutorial we discussed how these images don't leave a lot for the viewer to go on in order to get anything from them... they don't look like anything, just abstract shapes, which (for me anyway) doesn't spark the imagination. I was so proud of myself getting hold of someone and using their skills - its such a shame that it didn't work out first time, but I hope to try the microscope again in future as I'm sure I can make some really good images with it.
