I love trichome closeups/macro shots, they're so alien and trippy. So why don't we make a thread where we can share our shots whenever we feel like we caught a particularly interesting one! Also, if we have anything to say about the trichs, like why we took the pic and how we interpret it (usually the color ig) that could help people new to the craft to learn about trichomes. This is no obligation of course, it's totally enough to share your awesome shot! Also, all comments are welcome!

I'll start with the one I took two days ago. In this one it seems to my untrained eye that the trichs are starting to turn cloudy on the buds but aren't really white yet. Also, I don't see amber ones on the flowers, and perhaps only few on the leaves.

I recently bought a "microscope" that connects to my phone via USB cable. It claims it's 1600X magnification (800x with a digital 2x zoom). Got it on Amazon, regularly $37 CDN but it was 50% off, so I paid around $21 for it. I thought, if I can get a good view of my trichomes, then I'm happy. But if it isn't exactly the 1080p high magnification as advertised, meh...I'm not worried. I have to say, I was BLOWN away! Here's a few shots from this hooked up to my Samsung Galaxy Ultra S23 Pro. It plugs into the phone, so it doesn't need batteries (draws power from the phone) and has a bunch of LEDs around the periphery of the lens. But judge for yourself. For just over twenty bucks Canadian, I'm happy as can be.

The quality of the next pic is mostly due to uploading issues. It looks a LOT clearer on my PC here at home.

Here's a link to the scope.

Very nice shot, Brutus. Love the portrait mode where it frames in the subject bud, and blurs out the background. Very nice pic, indeed! She's definitely a frosty girl.

Cheers,

Nice macro shot Brutus. Brother, seeing that reflection of the microscope light on the trichomes is great.

Here's one of a blue cheese under a phone microscope.

So sweet, Tumbleweed! Amazing shot, and totally reminds me of some alien landscape! (or maybe that's just the joint I finished not that long ago...) Just wanted to add, yeah, the reflection of the LEDs was that moment when I thought, "Holy shit, this only cost me twenty bucks???" LMAO!

Cheers,

BA.

Thanks! I actually used Open Camera app on my smartphone and held a jeweler's loupe in front of the main camera to get more magnification. Works wonders but it's a bit fiddly.

Here's another shot with mostly clear trichs. Taken with the same method, phone camera through a jeweler's loupe.

Edit: and one more. These are so much fun to shoot.

I see this forum resizes the photos and there's no way I know of to DL the original size, so I need to either crop before sharing or get closer when shooting from now on. Like this phallic bud close up:

I don't know what it is, but I'm fascinated with the macro shots of trichomes. Absolutely loving this thread! I'll be sure to post another pic at the end of this weeks, see the progress.

Cheers,
