Before and after...

The top image was taken with the newly discovered "Micro-macro" setting. It shows a close up of the granite that makes up our big rocks. The bottom image is a macro image showing the granular mix - locally called "deco" - which is formed when the granite decomposes.

Nicely done.

Interesting contrast playing with the Micros and macros.

I like the story - to see the result of natural forces.

Wow? Interesting

Wow, that micro macro setting is amazing!

[Carole Sandford]

Interesting! I thought the top one was a cake mix at first glance 😉

[Jane Pittenger]

Fascinating. The micro macro is magic

[Rick]

Cool. Very interesting.

[Paula Fontanini]

Well that works super well. I don't think I have that setting but I want it!! :)

[Diana]

Fabulous comparison shots!

[Chris Cook]

Good macro shots. I especially like the top one.

@bluemoon LOL Paula - I have a sneaky feeling that your camera may do a lot of things that my funny little thing won't. But it is fun to play with. It's hand-me-down from my daughter, so all a bit new to me. :)

Hi everyone. Thanks for your interest in the Micro-setting. It's pretty sneaky - the camera seems to open up a wider, lit up section around the lens. I don't know how it actually achieves the magnification but the result is a bit similar to what you would see under a low magnification under a microscope. The granite worked well as an example - three different types of crystals. Cheers Rob
