I found a bag of silica gel in my old camera bag yesterday morning and did a macro shot of these desiccant last evening. Used my wife’s black hand bag as a backdrop.

Aperture f/45? That is impressive! I’ve read a few people saying that macro shots can’t be art, I don’t agree. I think in the hands of a photographer, any lens can make art.
I have to say though, macro shots always have a wow factor that can save you in a pinch when you have to take at least one photo every day. Mine has done that for me many times 🙂
What an interesting macro! I wouldn’t have thought silica gel would be appealing, but this is a nicely composed photo that draws attention. The “background” is great too!
Great macro photo. As Elli said, a very interesting choice and I love the negative space. It works perfectly. What I love the most about this photo is your inventiveness.
Excellent use of negative space.
Very nice. I agree with Brhum. I like the composition here.
This is very cool. Nice DOF

Wow! What great detail and the colors came together nicely. Great idea using “that” backdrop.
This is an awsome image. Nicely done.

Who woulda though of this as the subject! Great shot Sasi, I think everyone else captured my thoughts.
All I can say is WOW! Great macro.
Very cool! Love the shapes and the B/W.
