I turned my camera into a microscope.
As one can guess, it’s hard to take photos with a microscope.
Can you guess what part of Usyaka this is?

Looks like a nail to me.
And it is one! Bravo!
The tooth-or-claw is gorgeous!
Thank you very much. It’s a claw. Now I’m thinking of a better way to take a photo of her tooth, it won’t be that easy
My guess is a claw. It’s so amazing you can see its texture.
Yes! Congrats! You guessed correctly, it is a claw. It’s interesting to see the texture, isn’t it? It was so hard to take the picture when all I wanted to do was to scream: wowowowowow!!!
I like the eye photo the best
Thanks! Yeah, it’s also my favourite. I’ll need to take a better focused one, though.
an eye tooth
I actually didn’t see that it looked this way on the page.
Well, it’s a nail. Maybe one day I’ll take a photo of her tooth this way.
Great images Alexandra!
Thank you!
Nose, eye and whisker? How powerful is your microscope?
Isobel, I have no idea how powerful it is. That would be cool to take a photo of whiskers! I haven’t thought of that! It’s a brilliant idea! That’s her nail. Good that it was pushed into the sofa it was the easiest to take a photo of.
Wow. That mouth is my favorite. And thank you So Much for your long thoughtful response to my post. I appreciated it very much. It was very generous of you and it is amazing how much it cheered me, almost as much as admiring these wondrous photographs and your fabulous cat.
Charlotte, you are very kind, thank you!
It was my pleasure, really. I had a feeling that my comment might sound right, useful. I feel very happy now when I know it cheered you up.
You should make an Usyaka puzzle! I would totally buy one!
Nathan, that’s a very clever idea, actually! I haven’t thought of that before, but now I will, thank you!
Looks like a claw. What did you do to turn your camera into a microscope? A macro lens? Or removing the lens entirely?
You are right, it is a claw! I took my lens off, turned them and pressed to the camera body with the opposite side. The one which gave the maximum macro effect was a wide angle lens. It’s very hard to take pictures this way, but very gripping! The only way you can focus is to move closer or away from the object and one slightest move makes everything disappear so when it happens you have to start it all over again. That’s why I still didn’t make a more focused versions of those photos.
You have outdone yourself with these amazing photographs. Good thing you have a willing subject. Thanks, Charley McKelvy
Thank you, Charley. Even the willing subject got tired of exactly that photo session as I had to keep the camera too close to her face. It’s good she held still for so long, though.
The eye picture is amazing.
Thank you! yes, I like it too, I wish I had taken it better, though. I tried today but it didn’t work that well again. Maybe next time
