Indeed!

That is an amazing close-up!

What camera / lenses did you use?

Nice work! And gorgeous diamond! :)

Thats one serious macro shot! What did you use to get such magnification, extension tubes?

Cheers

Knew it was too much magnification for a straight macro lens :)

I'm new to this record stuff. Also, this is a pretty bad Technics turntable (SL-D30). It skips and damages my records and the cartridge is pretty bad.

My Audio-Technica AT71E Mounted in a blue Ortofon SH-4 headshell playing "Aim and Ignite" by fun.

I don't remember taking this picture, but I'm kind of proud of it. :)
"It’s that sinking feeling of being alone
And it’s the way it makes you screech
And pulls the skin off your bones!
And I can’t help but think, as I pick my mouth off the floor;
Will you still know me in a year?"

Definitely. Also turns out my needle broke off my cartridge... Just when I got Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon...
