Macro Test – How many everyday things can you guess?

This week my older son’s class (Kindergarten) is going over fabrics and textures.  I thought I would join the spirit by covering some extreme closeups in my next few blogs.  When I first bought my MP-E 65, my first photos were of everyday things at high magnifications.  These shots won’t win any awards, but I still find them rather interesting.  Therefore, here is a collection of some of the very first pictures I took with the lens.  See how many of them you can guess.  As I hint, I took all of them in my office at work.

As a rather funny aside, after taking these shots it occurred to my how truly dirty my office was!  Another early experiment was photographing the food I was about to eat at high magnification.  For obvious reasons, I no longer do this.  Without further ado, here are the correct answers.  How many did you get right?
