Tamrock mentioned taking closeups of gold dust, which gave me the idea. Been wanting to play with the closeup feature anyhow, so I took a couple of pictures with my regular macro, and the doubler I purchased extra. Nothing fancy, just some pictures.
This is as close as I could get with the lens that came with the camera.
And this is with the doubler.
Those are some nice pickers I acquired, not by panning myself though. The next two pictures are dust I panned myself over probably 70 years. Mixed in with this would be some gold panned from the Merced River in Yosemite Natl. Park. Nobody cared in those days, but the vast majority would have been panned mostly, very little dredging in streams in Northern Calif. and South West Oregon.
Regular closeup.
Last picture is with the doubler.
