Is this an electron microscope image of cellular structure or an abstract of a pan full of fried eggs?
No, a shower mat detail deliberately slightly out of focus and enhanced.

It's an interesting pattern, similar to nature in the way the cells are all quite like each other but every one is slightly different. Deliberately slightly out of focus is a bit beyond my capabilities at the moment, I'm still using auto :-[.

The photos I've done today didn't look so good in black and white, fiddling with the colour and brightness adjustments on the laptop has had more effect.

Oh, you will get there. Manual mode, and selective aperture choice, are obviously very good tools for what they call differential focusing i.e. selective focusing with backgrounds and/or foregrounds blurred etc. It offers a bit more creatively.

Horses for courses. Use whatever results in the greatest visual impact. You are trying to look at things differently anyway. Good for you  8)
I noticed that you made sure that the floor was well cleaned  ;)  ;D

Stylus to play 78 RPM shellacs?

I knew you would get it. Not 78 but a Shure M75EJ.

Wow, I really like those images by Blossfeld, particularly that second one. Wonderful stuff! Thank you for posting them.

It's like a detail of a house made of Battenberg cake :P.

Cheers.

Same subject, different perspective; a change of angle.

Yes it does. It is much more dramatic and has much more visual impact. Such a simple thing to do; just change your angle if it is at all possible.

As it is May 1st I have decided to add a splash of colour. I noticed that the light outside in the back garden was interesting so opened a window, stuck my head out and took a point and shoot shot into the canopy of the trees. It is a nothing shot really but I flipped the image so that the diagonal branch sweeps from left to right in the image [as opposed to right to left as I took the image] to make it look better.
