This is a link to the Winners of Nikon Small World 2018. It is a macro photography inspiration for me and I thought that it might be for others of like mind as well who would also enjoy seeing some of the fabulous and unique images.
I'm attaching a macro picture of a grasshopper that I took at summer's end simply to provide this link on this forum.

FYI. The Urania ripheus shown is a MOTH. Not a butterfly as stated.
Beautiful. Digital photography brings out detail impossible not many years ago.

Wonderful! Have you thought to use the embedded link from Flickr to so the image here is just a link (and larger) rather than releasing a copy of the image file as an attachment?
I thought that you would enjoy seeing the winners of Nikon's 2018 small world contest. The image of the weevil knocked my socks off.
Paul, I'd like to be able to do that. Could you please send me the link that describes how that is done for it sure would be handy to do.
It's an easy process:
Go to the image on Flickr
click the curved arrow in the lower right below the image
from the share options, select the BBCode tab
Adjust the file size, I use 1600x1310 for landscape and 1024x838 for portrait.
Cut n paste the code into the text of your UHH post, such as:
(who needs a link to other's images when you have this wonderful grasshopper to share
)

It was interesting link but not the same as macro photography. That was microscopic.
Terrific images from the contest, as always. Thanks for sharing those.
Your katydid picture is the woodland meadow katydid (Conocephalis nemoralis).
Wow, what beautiful microscopic images, thanks for posting.

Technically, MACRO-photography is 1x up to 10x life-size. MICRO-photography is 10x life-size, or higher magnification. The distinction was established based on the lowest magnification of most microscopes, which is 10x. The typical microscope on a jeweler's bench is 10x, used to document inclusions found in gems.
Most of the images depicted are less than 10x, and therefore macro-photography.
