Sweet!

I was looking around for tiny things in the kitchen and I saw the brown sugar I use for my coffee. Not impressive. I shot it anyway. This, is what my camera saw. Much nicer! I think it's even prettier if you view it large. 8D

[Sean O'Neill]

Looks like you are dealing in rough diamonds ;D

[Sreehari]

I've clicked same for next upload :) Oops :) Looks Nice

[Leslie]

Cool macro - Amazing amount of light in this - missed with the naked eye.

[MonicaE]

Little chunks of amber or gold nuggets come to mind. I love it!

[tony gig]

Great Macro, I agree with Sean they do look like rough diamonds.

[Yvonne]

Incredible macro. You really are very creative.

[Eddie Oliver]

Rough diamonds, cut glass, plastic chips, they look like everything but brown sugar. great work.

[Noriko Haizumi]

This is splendidly beautiful Livia! Well done! =D

[Lisa]

Great shot, would never have guessed it was sugar, so sparkly and shiney!

[bardejov]

Great photo. Brown sugar is so much tastier than white sugar and even looks amazing photograped.

[David H.]

+fav it's so golden like stepping into Ali Baba's cave

[❀ Lynn]

[Janice Underwood]

almost like topaz clusters in a geode :)

[Jennifer Ruge]

Very cool idea for this week's theme!

[Charlene Barker]

I at first thought this was topaz or amber color "rock candy". Neat to read its an intense close up of brown sugar.

[Krissy]

Very cool idea!

[Patty]

Livia, if you hadn't posted comments to this, I would have guessed I was looking at precious stones! Very nice! Funny how what our eye sees can vary from what the camera captures... :-)

[Cathy]

Maybe you have a tiny pot of gold in your kitchen! Beautiful!

[Allison]

The sugar reminds me of little herkimer diamonds. Love the colours.......very cool shot, Livia! :-)

What a great shot, Livia. Does look like diamonds like others have mentioned.

[Aysha]

Lovely focus!

[Betsy]

Beautiful, like tiny sparkling gems!

[Mick]

Would never have known what it was Livia, it looks like diamonds covered in gold leaf, certainly something way more precious than sugar.

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

Beautiful macro, sugar gems!
Fav!

[Jen Hudson]

Up close looks like pretty stones. Great shot out of such a simple thing.

[Julie Ryan]

Reminds me of some crystal cave deep beneath the ground. Or one of those rocks that when cracked open have all the crystals in it. Love the color and complexity. Great capture.

Interesting close up.

[Tony]

Shows that there's magic in the detail. Great macro and lighting. What do you use as a light source ??

[Livia]

@tonydebont Natural light! I don't know how to set up artificial lights. I always use natural light (in the afternoon) that is coming in through a (closed) glass window. 8)

[Tony]

@myautofocuslife I'm amazed, your macro shots are always so well lit.

[Howard Steele]
