Happy Pollen – Photography by Rob Kesseler

Hyathiz Photography No Comments

Rob Kesseler merged art and science when he took these amazingly detailed photographs of microscopic flora. The technique in capturing these amazing shots is a bit more complicated than just pointing the lens and pressing the shutter button. First, the plant material was given a fine coating of gold and photographed with a scanning electron microscope. Next, the images were treated with washes and layers of color to bring out the each detail. The results looked a lot like a viruses but they’re actually just pollen, seed, and fruit.

I love my dogs, reading books, and taking great pictures with my battered but still functional digital camera. Taking great pictures with a high end camera is almost too easy, producing fantastic images with an outdated one is an accomplishment by itself.
